Hey HN, we’re building a safe and collaborative way to edit data in your prod database. With Dropbase, a db admin can stage a prod table so that an ops/business team can edit it using a spreadsheet-like interface.<p>The main difference in our approach is that you can easily add custom validation rules to enforce app-level data validations. After edits are made, changes can be safely merged into prod on demand!<p>Think of it as a spreadsheet + custom data validation + git for your prod tables.<p>We believe this could replace the need to (re)build admin panels or internal tools for a significant number of use cases.<p>Check the demo video in the link and let us know what you think. If you’d like early access, please reach out. We’ll prioritize users with prod Postgres databases.<p>We’d love your feedback!
- Do you experience problems getting/editing data from business users into prod dbs? How you solve them today?
- Would you be comfortable in opening up some of your prod tables this way?
- Also, we’re trying to find a name for this kind of product instead of calling it a spreadsheet+validation+git. Open to suggestions!
hey guys,<p>im one of the founders. we’re really excited for this new version of the product.<p>with data validation feature db managers can add a validation layer for application level checks that are hard to enforce within a database (we know checks are also available in most dbs, though they’re rarely added). and we’re making the process of adding validation checks very easy.<p>we also added a git-like feature for db so admins can easily review and resolve merge conflicts.<p>let us know what you think!
