So on Nov 3rd, after months of feeling completely lost about what I want to do in the future, I finally decided on my path.
That path is DEBMO.
DEBMO is a SaaS that helps teams collaborate on databases and data safely and easily: connecting different databases, managing permissions, and giving devs and non-devs the same clean interface to work with data.
It originally started as something much smaller, called Project-DB, a drag-and-drop (DnD) query tool that would let tech and non-tech people work with databases without hassle. The idea was to connect multiple databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, even Snowflake warehouses), run queries, and process data in one place.
After I met the two people who later joined me on this journey, we realized it needed to be more than “just” a query tool. That’s when we came up with things like Excelerator, Data Studio, and a more advanced permissions system to support the way teams actually work with data together.
Right now, I’m the only one working on the development side. There have already been a lot of sleepless nights going into this, and I don’t regret even 0.1% of it.
So far, we’ve built:
The main project structure
Connections to Buckets / DB / Redis
Login with 2FA
Role-based permissions
The Admin Portal
It’s tiring and hard, but it’s also exciting to see it slowly become real.
Our current goal is to have a free testing phase starting around Jan/Feb, where anyone can try the MVP for a few months. During that time we’ll collect feedback, fix bugs, and ship the features we still have planned. The MVP will stay free during this testing period before we eventually move to paid plans later on.
If you’re interested in the project, want to follow the development, or give feedback before and during the testing launch, you can join the DEBMO Discord server (link below).
Until then, I’ll be posting weekly devlogs here on dev.to to share progress, decisions, and struggles along the way.
Wish me luck on this journey. 🚀
