Research direction

Review the linked discussions on rate limiting, performance, and unit testing Cloud Code to identify the guidance that belongs in this documentation. Done means a best-practices, recommended-configuration, or FAQ section is defined and covers the selected topics with shared operational knowledge.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

type:feature

There are a number of issues that have been raised regarding firewall or other stack related issues that cannot be solved by the Parse Server package.

I think to help our community, I propose a ā€œbest practices / recommended configuration (or even FAQ)ā€ section. From the top of my head, I’d imagine:

-Rate Limiting - Parse wide / specific endpoints e.g /requestPasswordReset
-Improving Performance
-Unit testing cloud code

It would be good to try to get some shared knowledge going from how the core team’s configure their own servers, especially as I’d imagine most of our developers aren’t overly experienced with application stacks.
