We (Render) are a featured app in the marketplace [1]; the app lets you run real time queries against your Stripe data in a fully-managed PostgreSQL database that's always in sync. Happy to answer questions about our experience building it! [1] https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/render-sql https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/render-sql

While the Stripe/Render integration looks interesting for our latest startup, more than anything I just wanted to take a moment and say 'Thank you' for building such a decent product.

Not quite sure what this is solving, doesnt stripe already allow you to query for data?

  Yes. Very slowly and inflexibly.

Any interesting details on how it’s implemented? If I were guessing, register a stripe webhook. On each webhook, and fetch changed events and turn it into proper sql.

Congratulations on the launch! How many man-hours did it take to build this app? Does releasing it as an Stripe app instead of hosting it on your own website(using Stripe Connect) reduced technical implementations such as authentication/authorization?

  In terms of effort, a couple of engineers worked on the app part-time for a few weeks. A Stripe App is the best way to handle permissions on behalf of a user, plus it gives Render more visibility in their marketplace.
