This is Not a Manifesto (But Maybe It Is)
Sometimes I wonder why the heck I started this. There are easier ways to spend my nights than wrestling with a database no one forced me to build. But here we are, and I guess you’re here too, so maybe I’m not the only fool left online at 2 in the morning.
Let’s get something clear — Sachin-DB is not your average polished, press-approved, buzzword-soaked cloud database. It’s rough around the edges, and I kind of love it that way. Not everything has to be enterprise-grade to be worth your time. Sometimes a side project does more good than a corporate roadmap that costs a million bucks and three project managers’ sanity.
Most days, I’m here alone, poking at the code, forgetting what I did yesterday. I scribble ideas in a notebook that’s half coffee stains and half half-baked feature lists. You’d think I’d use a fancy project management tool but nah, pen and paper win every time. Or maybe I’m just stubborn.
People ask me, “Why not get investors? Why not make it big?” Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Right now, I just want to see people use it. Someone messaged last week — they were tinkering with an API call and accidentally made the database scream. It crashed for like 40 seconds, scared me half to death, but that’s the point, right? [Mistakes](https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/how-to-actually-learn-from-your-mistakes.html) teach more than webinars ever will.
If you want to poke around, feel free. Break something, build something weird, email me a rant at hello@sachin-db.com. No promises I’ll fix your problem on time but I’ll read it. Probably at 1AM while wondering why I didn’t just become a pastry chef or something peaceful.
One thing I do want to say, in case you’re new here: this isn’t a big team. It’s me, and sometimes my cat, who contributes nothing but fur on my keyboard. So if there’s downtime, I’m sorry. If there’s a dumb bug, also sorry. But at least you know who to blame. And I’ll try my best to keep it all alive.
Next steps? Who knows. I might add a REST API, maybe throw in some visual tools, or maybe I’ll just keep writing these messy notes so you know someone real is behind all this mess. If you want slick perfection, you might be in the wrong place. But if you want a database with a bit of heart (and a lot of caffeine behind it), then welcome home.
Alright, enough of my ramble. I should fix a bug that’s been glaring at me from my terminal since yesterday. Maybe I will. Maybe I’ll watch a bad movie instead. Either way, thanks for stopping by. Keep building, keep breaking, keep poking holes in things that look perfect. That’s the good stuff.
Catch you around.
