Life after Parse
summary
Parse shutdown forces migration and the concrete alternative shown uses AWS Mobile Hub to provision an identity pool, a DynamoDB table for speakers (uploaded via AWS CLI batch write), public images on S3, push via SNS, auth with Cognito, serverless logic with Lambda, and Device Farm tests (smoke on five devices). The claim is that this replaces Parse-like features with AWS primitives, with real JSON imports, image URLs, and client code wired to SDK models.
