I don’t think you can make everyone happy. As a backend-developer I’d never use your tool, because it is limited to the set of building blocks you’re offering. As a no-code developer “REST APIs, CRUD operations and dynamic workflows on top of a Postgres DB” are foreign words to me. Why would I even need that? And even if I needed that, why would I use something that is limited instead of a low-code tool like Windmill, Retool or Trigger.dev? I think you really have to think about who is going to be using the product and what are their requirements. Maybe the type of customers didn’t even need an API in the first place? |

Our hypothesis is that if we give users the right tools (rapid API development + DB) they are enabled to create a large variety of applications (either full MVPs or extension of an existing product) and that should be beneficial to different types of developers. That being said, there are many tasks you want to execute as a backend developer that we will not be the right fit for as every platform that is not pure code will have some kind of limitation by definition. Similarly, if someone does not have any technical understanding whatsoever, Fastgen will not be the right fit for them either.
We agree that focus on a user group is key and we will keep a close eye on how ours is developing over time to build a great product for people that get the most out of the platform.
