I find it ironic that this is behind a paywall. My default policy is to just find the article elsewhere.

Good post, good insights. I faced the same when starting on nodejs stuff, things that were obvious to others were completely lost/hard to find for me.

The tool looks great, seems very easy to use. The UI/UX side of it is on point. The missing information about what the product is makes me hesitant to use it.

I looked through the pages... Tried a few times to find out what happens if I decide to use your tool after the 24H. I looked for a pricing page and failed. Makes sense if this is just your POC/demo.

So yeah, the ambiguity of all this makes it highly unattractive to even evaluate. It doesn't offer any value that a terraform RDS script or even docker-compose script that renders a template to give you the copypasta database init blocks.

Yup, our landing could use some clarification. We'll change it from "You'll be able to use it for 24h" to "Your data will be removed after 24h".

The target demographic is for demo/small projects ATM since it is our POC.

Terraform/docker compose is definitely the way to go for any project with substantial mass. I just got really tired of writing all that when I just wanted a JSON store.

Thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated :D.

Thoroughly impressed by the stance you have taken on this. Also, your work is impeccable. Great example of the ideal netizen.

I would give this approach 3 out of 5 stars on yelp
