# Frequently Asked Questions

## Database & Backups

### Do you have MongoDB Backups?

We offer a super easy-to-use [Automatic Database Backups feature](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT0BeSWfqa0&list=PLk66IKYX7bjrBKSNwNZVpTjVswA0oq5dr&index=17) available in your SashiDo Dashboard. The monthly charge is only $15 and covers all the apps' DBs on your current account with no limit on the GBs stored.

If you don't want to use this service, you're free to dump your Database manually using the MongoDB Connection string from SashiDo's Dashboard.

### How often are Automatic Database Backups performed and how long do you keep them?

[Automatic Database Backups](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT0BeSWfqa0&list=PLk66IKYX7bjrBKSNwNZVpTjVswA0oq5dr&index=17) are created once a day between the following hours according to the application region:

- Europe - from 2:00 to 7:00 UTC
- North America - from 9:00 to 14:00 UTC
- Australia - from 15:00 to 20:00 UTC
- Asia - from 17:00 to 22:00 UTC

We keep each Database Backup version stored for 30 days.

### If I have Automatic Database Backups enabled and need to restore a backup, how old will the latest version be in the worst case scenario?

In the worst case scenario, the available backup version will be 24 hours old.

### Will I be able to restore my database if I haven't activated Automatic Database Backup?

In that case, we may be able to restore your database manually by performing a disaster recovery procedure.

The process of disaster restoring a single database is done manually and takes 12+ hours depending on the size of the database, starting from $300. For more information, contact us.

We strongly recommend activating your Automatic Database Backups. Read more about the benefits [here](https://www.sashido.io/en/blog/announcing-automatic-database-backups/).

### Can I export data in CSV, JSON?

Yes, you can do it any time you want! Copy your MongoDB Connection String from [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io) and connect to it using any MongoClient and make a dump of it.

## Migration

### Can I migrate my Database from other providers such as mLab, ObjectRocket, Amazon etc.?

Absolutely! Please contact us at support@sashido.io and we will be happy to migrate it for you!

### Can I migrate my apps from other Parse alternatives?

Of course! Just drop us a line on support@sashido.io and we'll help you!

### I have already exported the MongoDB to a self-hosted VPS. Is it easy or dangerous to make the export to SashiDo?

We offer MongoDB migration assistance from any other solution. As long as you can give us access to the database, we will safely export it from your VPS. The process is secure and there is nothing to worry about. Our team of engineers will be happy to help - just send us an email at support@sashido.io.

## Features & Capabilities

### Does SashiDo™ have the same features of Parse.com?

SashiDo™ is a real Parse.com alternative and supports all of the core Parse.com features:
Dashboard, DB Browser, Push Notifications, Cloud Code, Background Jobs, Web Hooks, Live Queries, Logs, Global Config, Hosted Pages, System Emails, and more.

We have the vision to innovate the market by launching features that don't exist at the moment!

### Are Webhooks available?

Yes! You can use them the same way as in Parse.com through [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io).

### Do you have Background Jobs?

Yes! You can use them the same way as in Parse.com through [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io) and Cloud Code.

### Does SashiDo™ provide Push Notifications?

Yes! Push Notifications for iOS and Android are ready for use!

### Can I send push notifications from the client?

Client pushes are fully supported and you can enable them from your SashiDo™ dashboard. However, we do not recommend using them since it's a well-known security issue. To send notifications from the client, you will distribute the app with your clientKey. Malicious users can use that to send push notifications to your app users if you enable client push.

### Is CLP available?

Yes! It is available through [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io).

## Cloud Code & Development

### Can I use Cloud Code on SashiDo™?

Absolutely! We made an awesome integration with GitHub. We create for every app a free private GitHub repo where your Cloud Code is stored. You can also easily add 3rd party API libraries and packages.

### Can I use custom NodeJS Modules?

Yes. Just add the module in your package.json on your app's private repo on GitHub.

### Which Cloud Modules are available on SashiDo™?

You can use any NodeJS module with SashiDo™ Cloud Code. Just add the module in package.json (the package.json can be found in your app's private repo on GitHub) and push it to GitHub. SashiDo™ will automatically install all the dependencies on the servers.

### Can I host my static WebSite or Files with SashiDo™?

Yes, you can use hosted static files. You just need to upload them in the GitHub repo with your Cloud Code - please choose folder **"public"**.

## Pricing & Billing

### Do you charge if I exceed the monthly req./sec?

No! SashiDo™ apps are auto-scalable. There is no monthly req./sec limitation.

### Are there any limitations on requests per second?

You pay each month based on your usage. We don't have limitations of monthly requests & req. per second for the service, which means when you exceed 1M req. you are charged an extra fee for this month. Your app scales to your needs.

Here is more detailed info: [www.sashido.io/#Pricing](https://www.sashido.io/#Pricing)

### When will I get billed?

We will charge you monthly. The first payment occurs the day you pay for a plan and will continue to be billed on the same day each subsequent month. You can find more information about your billing cycles here: https://dashboard.sashido.io/billing/info

### What is Database Storage and File Storage?

**Database Storage:** Total data stored in our databases. We use WiredTiger and Mongo Rocks which provides increased performance and greater efficiency.

**File Storage:** The size of files (for example, videos and images) stored in our cloud storage buckets.

### What payment methods are supported?

We accept MasterCard, Visa and Amex.

### If I have one app during my trial and then I create a second app after the trial ends, will I pay just $4.95 for the second app?

Usually once your trial ends, our system detects your active apps and you are charged for them. Then if you create another app after the billing date has passed, on the next billing date you will pay a proportional fee for the period between the app creation and the billing date. You will also prepay for the month ahead as our services are prepaid.

Do not be surprised that the first month after the app creation your charge is more than $4.95. It is simply a prorated fee and you will pay it just once. Every next month you will be charged the regular fee.

### Regarding background jobs - do you charge only for those that are simultaneously running or you charge for the total number of jobs created?

We charge $10 for every extra background job created/scheduled via the Dashboard. No matter if the job is running for just a couple of days or for a full month, at the end of the billing cycle you will be charged for it. That's why we always recommend that you edit rather than delete a job and create a new one.

## Team & Collaboration

### Do I need to pay for more than one collaborator?

Nope! You can use SashiDo™ with all of your colleagues without paying an additional fee.

### Do I need to pay if I'm a collaborator?

Nope!

## Files & Storage

### Can I store files larger than 10 MB?

The files limit on SashiDo™ is 20MB. If you need to upload bigger files contact our support team - we can always think of a solution according to your needs.

## Platform & Infrastructure

### Does SashiDo™ have vendor lock in?

No! SashiDo™ uses Parse Open Source stack which means no vendor lock-in, because we want to keep you as a happy customer, not as a hostage :)

### Do you offer autoscaling?

Yes … even more: SashiDo™ is auto-scalable by design!

### Which Parse Server Version are you running on SashiDo™?

You can see it just above your app name in [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io). We try to be up-to-date with the latest stable Parse Server versions.

### Can I host my own domain and SSL?

Yes. Just drop us a line on support@sashido.io and we'll configure them for you. Soon we'll release our automatic tool in the [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io), so you can do it by yourself.

### What is the difference between SashiDo's Dashboard and Parse Open Source Dashboard?

[SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io) is a fork of [Parse Open Source Dashboard](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-dashboard). We decided to fork it because we improve its performance and UI & UX every day.

### Is your Dashboard up-to-date with Parse Open Source Dashboard?

Yes. [SashiDo's Dashboard](https://dashboard.sashido.io) is up-to-date with the latest stable releases of the [Parse Open Source Dashboard](https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-dashboard).

## Support

### How active is the technical support team?

We offer free 24/7 technical support via support@sashido.io and we strive to be as responsive as we can.

### Is phone support available?

Coming next year.

## Reliability & Business

### What happens if we use your platform and you decide to shut down?

We have no vendor lock-in and you are safe with us. Our main business CloudStrap is Platform as a Service provider and SashiDo™ is based on it. We don't have a freemium model like Parse, we want to ensure our sustainability and provide the best service on the market.

### Do you have Community Groups?

We don't have SashiDo™ groups yet but we are part of [Parse Open Source Community](http://parseopensource.github.io/) and [github.com/ParsePlatform](https://github.com/ParsePlatform) communities.

### What is an API request?

Every time you make a call to your SashiDo™ application using one of the SDKs or REST API, it counts as an API request.

## Quick Start Example

Here's a quick example of using Parse with SashiDo:

**JavaScript (Web/Node.js):**
```javascript
// Initialize Parse
Parse.initialize("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_JAVASCRIPT_KEY");
Parse.serverURL = "https://your-app.sashido.io";

// Save an object
const GameScore = Parse.Object.extend("GameScore");
const gameScore = new GameScore();
gameScore.set("score", 1337);
gameScore.set("playerName", "Sean Plott");
await gameScore.save();

// Query objects
const query = new Parse.Query(GameScore);
query.equalTo("playerName", "Sean Plott");
const results = await query.find();
```

**Swift (iOS):**
```swift
// Initialize Parse
let configuration = ParseClientConfiguration {
    $0.applicationId = "YOUR_APP_ID"
    $0.clientKey = "YOUR_CLIENT_KEY"
    $0.server = "https://your-app.sashido.io"
}
Parse.initialize(with: configuration)

// Save an object
let gameScore = PFObject(className: "GameScore")
gameScore["score"] = 1337
gameScore["playerName"] = "Sean Plott"
gameScore.saveInBackground()
```
