Modern development has a fragmentation problem. Not a code problem. Not a performance problem. A fragmentation problem. The tools we use to build products have multiplied faster than our ability to manage them, and nowhere is this more painful than in how we manage our databases.
A solo developer today might have a personal project running on Supabase, a client site on Firebase, a side product on Neon, a legacy system on MySQL, and a new experiment on MongoDB. Each one has its own console, its own login, its own way of showing you data, its own billing page, and its own set of credentials living somewhere in a notes app or a password manager.
This is not an edge case. This is the default experience for anyone who builds seriously. And it compounds: every new project adds a new tab, a new password, a new dashboard to remember. Most developers don't notice the cost because it accumulates in seconds: ten seconds here to log in, thirty seconds there hunting a connection string, two minutes waiting for a dashboard to load a query you already know the answer to. Multiply that by a week and it becomes half a workday. Every week.
