## AI overview

A personal account of migrating a small Parse-based yoga studio app to Back4app. The author describes choosing Back4app's easy migration option, waiting roughly ten minutes for the migration, and updating the Parse library and server URL before the app worked again.

## Source excerpt

A couple of years ago I wrote an app for my spouse's yoga studio for managing her student list. I intended to open source it but the code is a bit messy and I can't seem to find the time/energy to clean it up. I used the excellent parse4cn1 library from Chidiebere Okwudire during the height of Parse. As Parse ended I started thinking about contingency plans but after a few emails with Chidi and his posts detailing the various options I thought it might be possible to take the "lazy approach".
