# What is Parse?
Parse is an open source cloud-based back-end management platform. As an [alternative to Google's Firebase](https://launch-in-china.21yunbox.com/solutions/firebase-alternatives-in-china.html), Parse provides developers a one stop back-end and package services, including: server configuration, database management, API, video and audio file storage, real-time message push, customer data analysis and statistics, etc. Parse enables developers to focus on the front-end/client/mobile-side development by managing the back-end for you.

Facebook (Facebook) acquired Parse in 2013, and later decided to close Parse, and finally Parse decided to open source their code, now with [Parse Server](https://github.com/parse-community /parse-server) and [Parse Dashboard](https://github.com/parse-community/parse-dashboard), recently also supported [GraphQL Other functions](https://blog.parseplatform.org/announcements/release/2019/07/09/GraphQL-Announcement.html).

# What is a Parse Dashboard?
Parse Dashboard provides a visual Parse server console as well as a built-in GraphQL debugging tool. The Parse team recommends that all users who use Parse Server also use Parse Dashboard at the same time to facilitate users to modify data and configuration.
