I am far for being an expert in web development or any app development in general but i have the basics. I want to develop a simple microsoft Teams app for my organisation in order to do HR management. I want to use MongoDB to store the data. However I've spent quite a lot of time on trying to figure out how does the toolkit works. How can I create an teams application in teams using a mongoDB database. Which language should I use, React JS?
If you have any useful links i'll take them.
Thanks for your time guys :)

I'm a hobby developer that use Parse.com as my database and website host, as Facebook is going to shutdown Parse.com, I'm now looking for alternative Parse server.
I use Parse's Cloud Code Hosting to build Dynamic Web App, and Parse itself to store data collected from the website I've build, with custom Cloud Code to help getting and managing data. I've build a Windows Phone app for myself to manage the data I've collected too.
Is there any alternative server that has my requirement?
Dynamic Website
Database host
Custom Cloud Code (with BeforeSave and AfterSave trigger)
with Windows Phone SDK (or REST API if doesn't have)
Very thank you for helping me!
Try out Hasura.
Hasura (http://www.hasura.io): Hasura is a neat PaaS + BaaS solution. It is now competing with Firebase, Kinvey, Heroku et al. There is a full comparison page here: Compare | Hasura (https://compare.beta.hasura.io) . The difference majorly lies in infra ownership as well as no tech lock-in due to open-source components(like docker, kubernetes,postgres) building the major chunk of the platform. Check it out. There is also an option to explore (https://explore.beta.hasura.io/) Hasura by building your own blog web app and a todo app in under 15 mins.
Hasura should fit in perfectly for your needs.

I'm using Simbla website application development. It doesn't support all of your requirments but it has great UI builder with a backend parse database.
You can try using the parse open source server it has cloud code and you can use a custom database with it.
I'm currently working on a app, which has been build by another company already.
They build it on Appcelerator ACS (arrowDB) but when testing the queries are just too slow, where the same query on Parse.com is twice as fast.
So i'm trying to check how much work it is to put the existing database to parse.com but remain a functional app.
It's including users and quite a lot of custom objects and linkings.
It there anyone who moved from ACS to Parse?
If so, how was your process and are there things worth mentioning?
I'm contemplating to use Parse as a platform for my app, as I'm trying to avoid creating and managing the cloud infrastructure myself.
For the sake of simplicity let's say that my app will hook into an Exchange Server and will need to leverage some hosted Machine Learning service to categorize my e-mail and report on insights found.
I'm assuming that Parse would store my core data, while the hosted ML will store the "Big Data" associated with processing for insights.
I'm also expecting my app to receive push notifications generated by the hosted ML service.
Does this sound like a plausible way to go about it and leverage Parse, or am I better off developing the backend myself?
I think parse.com is the right place for you requirements, because they have everything you need like storage of core data, push notifications, cloud module which can be integrated with heroku, social integration, user management functionalities.
They also have large set of client libraries for desktop and mobile apps (node,java,.net etc...) also they have libraries of embedded devices.
The biggest advantage is that everything is setup, and you are focused on software development not on infrastructure things. This is my opinion.
I've been experimenting with the above stack and so far was really impressed. Seems like a viable path forward. The Cloud Code capability of Parse is very solid, and easy to work with. If you want to run services outside of Parse code this us also possible : just issue REST calls.
I'm using Parse.com SDK services for my Android app.
I've seen that Parse had released their Android SDK as an open source project on Github on this address.
My app is almost finished, and when I'm uploading it to the Play Store, I don't want to be controlled by Parse.com (I mean that I don't want to be blocked someday, or I don't know that), so I want to move my whole database to my own server that hosted on a secure company.
I've checked the open source project on Github and realized that all I need to use it on my own server is to generate an Application ID and a client key.
So I want to ask if someone knows how to generate an Application ID and a client key of Parse to use it on my own server, or that you maybe knows another way of moving it to my server? And one more question: Today I'm using also Facebook SDK with my app. If I will move my database to my own server, will I still be able to use Facebook SDK on my app?
Thanks!
I have write an article about how to migrate parse to a custom server.

There's a massive difference between Parse open-sourcing their SDKs compared to revealing their entire backend architecture and its configuration.
The open-sourced SDKs are essentially wrappers for Parse's REST API along with some convenience functions and logic for natively interpreting the JSON data Parse is transmitting.
At a high level, Parse uses MongoDB for its core database and is entirely hosted using AWS (Amazon Web Services). The entire architecture is highly complex and is not something you could just drag and drop onto your own software stack or hardware backend.
To help give you a better idea of how Parse achieves all of their services, here's an interesting presentation their Dev Ops team gave at an AWS convention. Suffice it to say, hosting the backend services for over 180,000 apps requires a complex infrastructure and that is the "secret sauce" so to speak for Parse and is why Facebook purchased them for over $85 million two years ago.
i think my title is a little confusing but, what i'm thinking to do is:
I have my RoR website hosted on a ubuntu server with the postgres sql. I'm thinkin in a way to port the function of my website to a mobile app for example.
EX: i have a online chat website, so i want to create a native iOS app that can use the same functions and same database from my website in rails.
What i need to study first to learn how to connect my web-app to other apps in rails?
What i need to search for?
You need to create a REST API to connect your mobile app with the web one.
Here you have a link that can be helpful, but if you search in google there is a lot of information related to this.
