Hey HN!
I built K(V)AAS last night, after having to deal with some programmable banking API that couldn't persist data across sessions.
I didn't want to create a new db or backend for such a simple task, but also couldn't find an existing service that simply accomplishes this.
I'm keen to hear what you all think! Current usage is entirely free. If there is a need, I'll build it out a bit more.
Also something like this needs a “docs.” subdomain.
I like the idea, especially the REST interface with no package installs required. I had a similar idea myself coming from “what is the simplest possible firebase” point of view.
I like the idea of using this from a backend. Then the lack of granular permissions will not matter as much as the backend will be the “bastion”.
Your competition might include the KV offering from Vercel.
I probably wouldn’t sign up as you are selling infra and I need to know you will be around, and you have a reliable service etc.
