TL;DR: We’re prioritizing convenience atm.

I’m very open to the idea of an on-prem version of Searchbase as an option in the future! We decided to start with a cloud version for our MVP to enable users to get started with Searchbase in a few minutes.

As for sharing DB credentials, I get the concern. “Subscribing” to your database is meant for developer convenience. But if there’s demand, we’d also like to support the traditional ETL method of “manually bulk uploading” :)
