Thanks for the feedback. How can Aidmin do better here? You are signing up for a service and effectively creating a workspace for your project / organization. I could see it not needing a name, but its used to manage your users that be

It doesn't need root credentials. The RBAC is applied on top of the credentials Aidmin is given.

It doesn't need root access, the RBAC is applied on top of the credentials Aidmin given. I hear you on the approach, it is something I have been thinking about for a while.

Yes, this is currently a big ask, and understandbly so. There are a few SaaS companies that exist today which provide similar service, and they all require this level of access, unless you opt for their enterprise self hosted version. I am

Amost every language has a framework that lets you get some form of quick administration up, but I've found that even with this, developers are still having to do things directly in the database. This is also just the initial iteration

It is currently closed source. The documentation repo is what I am currently using as a temporary website.

Fair feedback. That said, a lot of SaaS companies exists today which require a database connection in order to operate. They all also offen on-prem, but for enterpise sales only. Everything I have is fairly automated so I think it'd be

As another idea, since all the changes are described in an AST, I could offer a "undo" in the query log for INSERT action. The UPDATE action would require a bit more work as I don't track the previous data (and it could be ch

Every action against a data source is logged and query-able. At my current startup, giving acess to everyone at the company to use a traditional tool (dbeaver, datagrip, etc) is not simple because our databases are not publically accessible

That is exactly my early goal. Currently, the column based access should help limit modifications to only specific columns. That said, I have heard this feedback and definitely have started thinking about an approval / pull request bas

Hi All, I’ve been working on Aidmin for quite some time now, and finally released a beta version of it. I’ve focused most of my efforts on security, making sure that Aidmin can’t negatively impact your database. I talk about that a little b

I was surprised that Mike Krieger (Cofounder & CTO of Instagram) spends ~30 hours a week coding. It doesn't seem like most CTO's, especially at big companies do a lot of coding anymore.

Still pretty early, but I am working on a web based database editor that has a lot of other niceties built on top (column based permissioning + rbac). https://app.aidmin.io

Not really defending Dyson, but they have a public statement on CADR, and also just a note that CBC reviewed the older model. https://www.dyson.co.uk/air-treatment/purifiers/CADR

Might want to elaborate a bit. It is true that from a feature point of view, Elastic's own offering wins out, but from a perspective of uptime, cost, and performance, AWS wins.

Agreed. We actually were customers of Elastic's offering for a while, but they went down 3 times in a quarter, which was simply unacceptable. We had to switch, and have been okay since. Our bill is also more than half of what it used t

I agree in principal that we need to make that simple. React can work without a compiler, but it wouldn't be as pleasant without JSX. Same goes for the rest of the stack, there are so many DX improvements in either using SVGs as compon

ElasticCo's offering is no better, and has its own shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is its actually not multi-az. We were down 3 times in 2018, and unfortunately had to switch to AWS ESS. Majority of their outages were also faults

Ramadan was my most productive month last year (hard to measure this year as I started at a new job just before Ramadan). There are no food related distractions (no thinking about lunch, getting up for water, going to the washroom, etc). Th
