@Gwen Shapira I'm building a new kind of "serverless db" right now, and I'm currently building with a customer in an equity swap. Fun fact, I used to work at Amazon S3 where I'm translating buckets to spaces.
https://www.adama-platform.com/ is my current marketing and blog. It's all me right now, but I'm looking to scale up by end of year.
I could list a ton of things that Adama does that most DBs don't. For example, I can rewind state. I can also smoothly deploy a product change out as it follows a "database per customer", so it encourages multi-tenant isolation.
This year I plan to finish the edge aspect where databases move to where customers are at. This is becoming a priority for my custom so we can have the database located in a datacenter near the tenants. This means their entire product experience is going to be less than 5ms.
https://www.adama-platform.com/deep-dive.html is a deck I prepared around some of it.
