The customers of those users absolutely do not want this. If I ever find out a company uses something like this, I'll no longer be doing business with them.
> So while you should absolutely make sure this is done properly
That is simply not possible.

I second this 100% This for me is a major red flag. It could maybe be mitigated if OP would require customers to run their own instance of cc.dev.
- billoneil 3y agoHosted Looker and many other tools are getting direct DB access these days and I'm sure you use products that do it. As an engineer I'm not a fan of it and it can often cause problems so it's best to point them at read replicas but that is not always how companies set them up.
- nlh 3y agoExactly - you beat me to it. Looker is the canonical example. I think folks would be up for a rude awakening if they really understood how many companies use Looker (or similar advanced analytics apps -- Sisense, ThoughtSpot, etc.) and how directly they connect to DBs.
