If serverless is a paradigm shift, why did FB killed Parse and left the business? A question that remains unanswered...

Not their core business? Their version wasn't profitable enough?

Hadn't really read about Parse before. It seems it was primarily aimed at mobile developers. Did it have significant use-cases beyond that? In comparison, AWS Lambda, Google Functions, and Azure Functions seem more generically applicable.
