Just launched layerbase.com after several years of behind the scenes work and a 6 month sprint. It is a replacement for the following:

Layerbase Cloud:

-Supabase

-Neon

-Planetscale

-Upstash

-Railway

Layerbase Desktop:

IDEs:

-TablePlus

-DBeaver

-MySQL Workbench

Runners:

-Postgres.app

-DBNgin

-Docker

Open Source (spindb):

-Docker for Databases

My open source package github.com/robertjbass/spindb is a database runner that manages your binaries. Think of it as what NVM is to node, but for 21 separate databases. The rest of my products are effectively wrappers around it.

My quiet public launch was this past Saturday (no producthunt or HackerNews) because I want to stress test the system first but it is officially live and operating.

I've never been more proud of anything I've ever built. I've already gotten an acquihire offer that I turned down because they wanted the IP. But as excited as I am to have launched, I know this is just the start of the road and the hard part comes now.

Currently all of my users are on the free tier (I may have to make it a little bit less generous once I have some name recognition) but most of my traffic is coming from my blog posts. The posts about DuckDB and CouchDB for some reason seem to be getting the most traffic from Google. DuckDB I understand but CouchDB not so much.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to connect with more founders. If anyone here has database hosting needs, or is curious about playing with a vector database for the first time, or wants to partner for hosting related matters I'm open to anything at the moment since I am still trying to decide which direction to focus on.
