This code runs in the Parse Cloud rather than running on a mobile device. For complex apps, sometimes developers just need a bit of logic that isn't running on a mobile device. Cloud Code makes this possible.
The Parse Platform's vision is to let developers build any mobile app without dealing with servers. For complex apps, sometimes developers just need a bit of logic that isn't running on a mobile device. Cloud Code makes this possible.
Cloud Code is easy to use because it's built on the same JavaScript SDK that powers thousands of apps. The only difference is that this code runs in on a Parse Server rather than running on a mobile device. When developers update their Cloud Code, it becomes available to all mobile environments instantly. They don't have to wait for a new release of their application. This lets developers change app behavior on the fly and add new features faster.
