Cloudflare Acquires Outerbase

They really need to focus on making D1 remotely usable for real work [1] before moving to the bells-and-whistles phase.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43572511">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43572511</a>

I like Cloudflare. I also feel they are doing too many things...

Most people are used to connecting to remote DBs over a port&#x2F;SSH with DBeaver or Table Plus etc.<p>Connecting to Sqlite is different to MySQL and Postgres though and can feel a bit weird. If they want D1 to become a big platform something like makes a lot of sense.

I built my app (Show HN at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43483919">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43483919</a> ) using Cloudflare for various functions. They seem to nail the services a typical SaaS needs (except email service), but localhost development can be challenging for some newer services.<p>Also, their Queues service seems to get stuck randomly, and I need to &quot;flush&quot; it manually from the dashboard.<p>But I hope they get better over time. Can&#x27;t beat the ease of use and the pricing.

Congratulations! I hope Outerbase Studio will live on, it’s one of the nicest Database management UIs I know.

Happy to answer any questions, super excited to be part of the team and help make Cloudflare&#x27;s developer experience better. Not just bells-and-whistles ;)
