Back4app
I am using Back4App to host Parse Server, initially developed by Facebook but now open source. In 2023, the Parse platform is not as trendy as similar Google or Amazon offerings, but it is mature, performant, and, once you learn it, really easy to develop with. The platform is also host agnostic, so you are not stuck with a service provider. The host-agnostic aspect of the platform is nice, but I don't know if I will ever switch from Back4App. Their pricing is good, uptime is a non-issue, and their support is top-notch. I've only submitted a few tickets, but they've responded quickly and helped me resolve my issue each time. No complaints, directing me to docs, or telling me I need to pay more. Just good service. In addition to submitting tickets, they support a community slack channel so you can ask broader questions.

What's great
