Layerbase

A passion project by a database enthusiast. serverless databases for free. A 21-database IDE for 5 operating systems, and a fully scriptable open source library

@MicroLaunchHQ We are giving out free databases in exchange for feedback at https://t.co/PIMjhwDB1p

@supabase That's almost as nice as the https://t.co/PIMjhwDB1p web IDE... almost

@GithubProjects I use https://t.co/EGoj26E89x and so does https://t.co/PIMjhwDB1p
It uses branching and ZFS. The web app has branching for almost every database live but hidden behind a feature flag for a few more days during testing

@terminallm_team @pcshipp I'm in a similar boat. But it's because I'm focusing on customer acquisition first, which means that the free tier is way too generous. But once it gets more traction, I'll leave the early adapters on the generous plan and make some of the free features become paid features

[Layerbase @LayerbaseDB]

https://t.co/On28NnjASn has finally reached feature parity with neon. Branching- ZFS, not easy...

It is now time for layerbase to self-host. Branching is behind a feature flag right now but will roll out in the coming days.

However... new signups are currently down because May is a 31 day month

I'm afraid to put a card on file, I've seen what neon invoices look like 💰💰💰

@datacharmer I had to build a custom fork of Duckgres to use the postgresql wire protocol with DuckDB... I realized Go was the exact right tool for that job

@daicandev I have no communication with my users, that's a good idea

[Layerbase @LayerbaseDB]

@daicandev I appreciate that. All of my conversions so far have come from SEO and blog posts. My most important posts are related to Supabase alternatives, serverless DuckDB, or Serverless MariaDB.

I'll focus more on marketing after I have enough customers to cover the server costs

Free desktop application to do the same locally with built in IDEs

I refuse to add AI until the base project itself is perfect

Imagine DBNgin + TablePlus combined for free, with a nicer UI, for every operating system, and for every database...

Yeah, it's real

@dawedeveloper @anupamrjp Seems like a good idea. Too bad it isn't cross platform
