Wait, tell me again why I should trust you with database credentials? Whitelist you in my infrastructure? Allow you to define an entry point to my app?
I would honestly rather pay for a product like this and get the source than what is in this offering.
We totally understand the hesitation there. We're launching with the hosted direct-connection form, but we have tons of plans to specifically address this concern.
First, we're actively working on a database agent (like chart.io using reverse-SSH tunneling) for increased security and control.
Second, we have longer term plans to offer this platform as an appliance, so everything stays within your infrastructure. That's obviously a much larger project.
In the mean time, we have the advantage of being able to make constant improvements to your API while being hosted.

It's interesting nonetheless.
