Build a database backup alerting tool for devs
The Problem
PostgreSQL databases getting nuked by attackers, with backup failures going unnoticed.
Real Demand Evidence
Found on hackernews·1 month ago
Our Postgres backup silently failed for 11 days. We only found out when we needed to restore. If there'd been a fire, we'd have lost nearly two weeks of data.
Core Insight
Dead-simple backup monitoring with SMS alerts.
- Target Customer
- Solo developers needing simple backup monitoring.
- Revenue Model
- Subscription model at $19-29/month.
Competitive Landscape
Doesn't natively track backup job outcomes without custom integrations
Isn't backup-specific and misses cloud backup provider states
Willingness to Pay
- $19-29/month
Developers pay $15-49/month for monitoring tools; a backup-specific alerting service with zero-config cloud integrations would land at $19-29/month.
