Average Database CEO
@AvgDatabaseCEO
CEO of AvgDB. $100m series B. Now doing Auth and Storage!
- CEO perspective on H1B I can hire an excellent euro engineer for $100k remotely. Why would I spend $100k to bring one here?
- Proud to announce our free plan now has 4 nines of uptime. 89.999%
- 0.38 requests per second. The power of SQLite💾 SQLite in production? André Arko shows how his app serves 1M requests/month on a $14 Fly.io VM, powered entirely by a single SQLite file. Simplicity wins—until it doesn’t. andre.arko.net/2025/09/11/rai…
- To be fair, taking a 0.5ms database. And turning it into a 0.5s database by adding serverless is a lot of hard work.
- BREAKING: Database company turns off unused database. User who neither pays nor uses database is upset.supabase's free tier is completely unusable for hobby projects imo 🥲 one of my project's database has been permanently paused and i have to migrate it somewhere else now!
- Comparison. Neon Database: - 500ms cold starts - CEO has blocked me Prisma Database: - No cold starts - CEO is chill The choice is clear.
- “Mom how did we get so rich?” “Your dad added ‘serverless ai’ to his database company and sold his shares during the series D before it went to zero”
- Replying to @loraclexyzWe’re 100% remote, it’s the best way. Last company meetup was at my mom’s house in Napa.
- Replying to @EwakaaaMy engineers only need a laptop and internet
- When our free tier is out of capacity, instead of rejecting new databases, we delete the oldest free DB on our platform and give you their spot! Pay up or get out as I always say!
- The serverless Postgres company sent us a 30.7k (yes THIRTY THOUSAND) dollar bill for our database We said we’d tweet about it and ruin their company. They send us a new bill of 2.1k instead MAKE IT MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER HOW IS THIS NOT A SCAM?
- With a few more days of this, Supabase *might* start to catch up to Neon as the downtime leader.
- First, Vercel partnered with Neon “downtime” database. Now this latest tweet atrocity. It’s a pattern of poor decision making. Well done @wesamo__.I just handed in my resignation at Vercel
