Two. My day job and https://try.sqljoy.com https://try.sqljoy.com. I might switch to a different project now though, I feel that itch again and I'm not sure if there is a market for sqljoy.

  I haven't measured it, but the client lib is extremely light. Definitely under 10kb compressed, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's much less.

I’m confused by this. You created a backend service that runs arbitrary SQL queries from the frontend (presumably with some wrapper that makes it nice to use)? I don’t think you can compare that to a back-end dev wasting $4900/month on boilerplate code, since they’d be able to set up a similar thing for less. I agree that it would be nice to use from the frontend though. My hobby projects are much nicer since I figured out that I can use better-sqlite3 and node libraries in a nw.js React app (synchrously!).

  > I’m confused by this. You created a backend service that runs arbitrary SQL queries from the frontend (presumably with some wrapper that makes it nice to use)? Yes. Although carefully controlled, queries are arbitrary when developing, but fixed once deployed. You wouldn't want to let the internet at large query your database anyway they like. It also lets you define and run JavaScript functions on the server. > I don’t think you can compare that to a back-end dev wasting $4900/month on boilerplate code, since they’d be able to set up a similar thing for less. Those estimates are broken down on the page there, and based on saving 60 hours a month between boilerplate (crud endpoints) that you don't have write anymore, meetings and bugs avoided syncing between backend and frontend devs. If you mean to say you can implement such a framework in 60 hours, you're dreaming. I've been building this full time since September, and there's a lot more to do.
