Looking for 10 developers to try my database platform free for 30 days — honest feedback only

I'm a solo founder building YDA Cloud — a managed Postgres platform with flat-rate pricing and a database partner called RAELA.

Quick context: I work night shifts in an emergency department and build this during the day. The platform has been live since May, I run my own production applications on it, and it just went through a third-party technical audit. But I need developers outside my own bubble to use it and tell me what's actually good, what's broken, and what's missing.

What I'm offering:

30 days, full access, no credit card, no catch. I'll personally set up your project. At the end, I want honest feedback. If you'd be willing to leave a testimonial — great. If not, the feedback alone is worth it.

What YDA Cloud does:

Managed Postgres with flat-rate pricing — no egress charges, no connection surcharges, no surprise bills
RAELA: a database partner with 2,000+ executable tools (not just answers — actual schema migrations, security scans, compliance checks, monitoring setup)
SOC 2 Type II observation in progress, HIPAA wired into every tier
Security add-ons: automatic key rotation, auto-inject credentials, honeytoken leak detection
MCP server support (Team tier+)

What I need from you:

Use it for a real project. Not a hello-world. Something you'd actually put data into. After 30 days, tell me:

What worked?
What didn't?
What would make you pay for it?

That's it. No upsell, no follow-up spam, no "let's schedule a call." Just a builder asking other builders for a real read.

Interested? Drop a comment with your email or DM me. I'll create your account and send credentials directly.
