Differentiation

Existing solutions
Amazon RDSiDrive
Our angle
There is a lack of lightweight, developer-friendly tools that enforce 'boring safety rituals' (like explicit prod confirmation and pre-migration snapshots) without requiring enterprise-grade DevOps setups.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • Opened the wrong terminal tab. Ran it on production.
  • the "wrong terminal tab" thing is terrifyingly common. i know at least 3 people who've done this exact thing.
  • Every major mistake I have made happened when I was tired and convinced I could just run this one thing real quick.
  • Only the migration credentials should have access to execute DDL commands; not the application, and not what you use for ad-hoc queries.
  • You have to remove permissions from prod, if you or your script have no drop table permissions on prod then you wouldn't be in this very bad situation.
