reitfibel/parse-server repository overview

⁠Parse Server⁠

See above for all documentation.

Parse listens on the path given in SERVER_URL, if any, not /parse as in the upstream examples, so it can be easily served from HAProxy and composed with other services. For example with multiple apps and envs:

https://parse.example.com/appname/prod/
https://parse.example.com/appname/dev/
https://parse.example.com/anotherapp/prod/

Logs are written to STDOUT in "pretty" Bunyan⁠ format, and to file in "raw" JSON format. The welcome message is written to STDERR to not interfere.
