Slick landing page, gets immediately to the point. Congrats on launching
You might want to consider adding an on-premise plan? I think most DBs are not publicly exposed on the internet?
- dmerks 6y agoMakes me think of "Enterprise plans" or "support" with "custom" pricing. Perhaps a third option in your pricing to target businesses in addition to developers? I imagine consulting is a way to gradually develop a better product. 29$ per month probably won't cover costs for long...
- rosaldo 6y agodmerks definitely agreed! As developers can use Robo3T and write queries, the ideal customer in my mind is a smaller team/startup where developers setup metrics for marketing/product team as they need them but can't use MongoDB. I'm not sure how to market this as developers need to do the setup, but product or marketing actually needs it. Any advice on how to market?
- dmerks 6y agoLook at how similar products were sold... OSS combined with cloud offerings seem to be an established approach
- rosaldo 6y agoThanks bauerd! I spent more time changing landing page more than I'd prefer to, but glad to hear it was worth the effort. If you run MongoDB on server (example AWS or DigitalOcean) you can easily connect to it with MongoDB connection string. It's advised to run on separate server as MongoDB takes up a considerable amount of RAM and it's never a good idea to run your database service on the same server instance as your production services. I run mine on AWS lightsail for $3,5/month for now. Will look into adding on-premise, if this gets any traction.
