What Are Your Biggest Pain Points with Databases?

[dao-ming-dev]

Hey folks!

I’m building ReifyDB, a new kind of database that tries to eliminate some of the friction developers face when working with traditional database stacks.

But before going further, I want to hear your stories.

What frustrates you the most about databases today?

Some prompts to get you thinking:

• What parts of SQL or ORMs feel like magic (in a bad way)?

• Where do you lose the most time debugging?

• What makes writing integration tests painful?

• Ever wished your DB could just be part of your app?

• Do you find yourself re-implementing logic in both SQL and backend code?

• Do your users ever wait because your queries misbehave under load?

I’d love for you to be as honest and specific as possible — no pain point is too big or too small.

Let’s make databases better together
Looking forward to your replies!
