What's exciting to me, having tested graph.cool and others, they are fantastic at providing an API in a format that works quite well (GraphQL) and handing the admin for me.
I don't want to build admin anymore.
Frankly, I'll spend more money at the service with the best admin UX.
It's like MixPanel for analytics. I can perform complex queries and analysis with minimal friction, which makes it worth the cost.
"Owning" isn't a selling point for me, when all of the services make it possible to dump the data.
