I have seen a lot of services popping up lately that make it easier to deploy an application on the serverless infrastructure. As a full-stack developer, I can swear by these services. And I love how MongoDB cloud lets you manage and deploy databases on the go. MongoDB Atlas makes collaboration incredibly easy and seamless and saves a ton of development time thanks to the robust library and cloud approach.
However, there was also a recent shift toward the SQL-based database like PostgreSQL. And ever since I started using Sequelize I'm more convinced that I can use PostgreSQL in many of my projects over Mongo.
Now what bothers me is that there is no service similar to MongoDB Atlas that serves SQL users. There are DBaaS providers out there but they are not fully grown as Atlas or ultra-focused on databases. They either do not provide full support and often lack the features that make services like MongoDB so appealing in the first place. I’m looking for something beyond just deploying a database and that’s it.
I'm so obsessed with this that I recently wrote a small UI that allows me to create a PostgreSQL database on my local machine. And I wonder if this is something you ever thought of?
