Being a front end javascript developer, I find it a pain to develop, host, and maintain a database and backend layer to fetch and push data to the client.
What I would love is a way for me to login to some service, define schemas in xml and the database would be automatically setup. Simple things like login widgets would be automated. All I want to do is write a front end in JS and consume/write to APIs.
Does any such magical service exist?
Yes, Parse.

its geared for mobile developers but you can use the rest api from anything.
