I am developing Stripe but for Data

Hi, I am writing the Stripe for data. This is probably my 100th project trying to build a useful product and I am glad to say all have failed so far but I am not giving up. I believe I will someday build a product people want to use and need. Please do read through my project thesis below and tell me if I should continue working on it.

So, I want to make a play for data. Sor of Stripe for data. Aka. The data infrastructure for the internet.

Companies especially startups can offload their data needs to us they can store their data with us, and then we provide API endpoints and apps on top of their data.

I know, you might think db as a service like MongoDB, or backend-as-a-service like Supabase and Fireside, or storage as a service like AWS, etc; but this is different.

Just like companies stopped worrying about setting up payments and payment infra when Stripe came out, I wished companies, with my new project, will stop worrying about database and db infra. In fact, I wish, with my project, they wont have to write a single line of database/data code anymore, except maybe to connect to APIs.

Your thoughts (through comments will be much appreciated).
