I really don't see who this is for. It seems like I have to build most of the important things manually, like the SQL queries, and it doesn't look like anything is typed or checked. So in the end, this seems like it would only be useful for extremely simple things(like sending a message to slack when a customer signs up, or something), but that is already only a few lines of code in javascript, making the value proposition of this rather dubious to me. Especially considering that I can either a) be vendor locked into this platform and completely dependent on what it can and can't do, while all the important bits of my code are smeared all over your visual editing tool or b) write a few lines of typescript which isn't going anywhere, runs anywhere, etc etc. > We’re low-code fans ourselves and believe it’s sometimes underappreciated how much complexity existing solutions can already handle Just because you can stuff complexity into a thing, that doesn't automatically make it a good idea. These low code solutions scale extremely poorly(in terms of usability and maintainability) as complexity grows. Also, is the integrated database maximum size really only 8GB for all tiers? That seems laughably small, especially considering the price you are asking past a few actions. The pricing model really seems to put you in a place where the customers you are going to get are only going to be small fish that need to send themselves text messages a few times a month, or something like that. No enterprise is going to blow $29k a month on 2 million serverless calls and an 8 gigabyte database when they can pay a single developer a fraction of that for a week of development time and a few bucks a month for serverless functions and a managed DB solution such as supabase. |
