This is a really clever idea. So simple and almost-obvious, yet it's the first time I come across this. Genius.
Particularly like the fact that REST APIs are pretty easy to start with providing GET access to resources, but get messy when you start doing POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH etc. In this case, it's read-only by definition. That must make things so much easier. I can anticipate people asking for update access in future, but if you can get customers without it, I'd hold off with that for as long as possible.
One thing though - I think you should definitely raise your prices. 20Gb and 10 million queries for only €15 per month??!!
This strikes me as different. This looks a lot like Microsoft Access. A tool for "simplifying" database construction and common tasks like reporting (which doesn't actually work except in very simple cases, because you quickly reach the point of needing to understand concepts like normalization and foreign keys even if the GUI is pretty).
Thanks! I too was surprised when I couldn't find anyone else that had done it. Noted RE pricing, just testing the water for today - consider this a HN special if you want to lock it in early ;)
