thanks for reminding me why i'll never outsource my app's primary datastore. 'tis a bridge too far.

If you want data sync capability and you prefer to run your own databases, Couchbase Lite is an open-source iOS and Android JSON database that syncs with Couchbase running on your servers.

It's not a full app platform like Parse and StackMob, we are focussed on the data layer challenge.

I'm all about the Couch/Pouch ecosystem. :)

But you don't have to maintain it! Think of the time savings! /s

There's Apache UserGrid, too: http://usergrid.incubator.apache.org/
