Hey all,
So few weeks ago I asked you if hosting provider is important... many thanks for all of you who answered.
Now, can you tell me a bit about my idea. How does it sound to you? Am I completely crazy?
Let's start with the point that I do have working MVP, so I am not asking for technical advise - I know it can be done. I'm looking for "would you be interested to use it" advise.
So, without further due - I am building (yet another) cloud hosted, fully managed SQL database in the cloud. You must have heard about PlanetScale, Xata, etc.
Yeah, I am building similar service, but with the twist.
I'm aiming at smaller projects, databases around ~100-500MB in size that are read heavy (vs write heavy).
Service is serverless focused (you're making SQL calls via HTTP - something like Planet Scale JS driver, with the difference that this is core of service, not add-on) and initially concentrating on Javascript client (with integration to most well know ORMs as I'm working on Knex driver too).
Also, no database sleeping after time of inactivity (you might experience cold start, but no need to "wake it up")!
Service will be available in multiple regions around the world, so it will be close to your code...
That's more less it... Happy to answer any questions you might have.
I have just one question: does this sounds interesting to you as a developer?
Thanks!
