Simple pay-per-use database backup service (Postgres/MySQL/Mongo/More..)

I’m validating an idea: a dead-simple database backup tool for indie developers and small SaaS teams.

How it works:

Connect Postgres/MySQL/Mongo/SQLlike..

Click backup → securely stored (our cloud, or your S3/Wasabi/MinIO)

Click restore when you need it

Pricing: $1/GB, then ~$0.21/GB/month storage. No tiers, no enterprise upsell.

Why?

RDS/Cloud SQL snapshots exist, but they lock you into AWS/GCP and aren’t cheap.

Many developers on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Railway, Render, Fly.io, etc. don’t have reliable, automated backups.

DIY scripts break, restores often fail, and no one tests them until it’s too late.

Questions for HN:

Do you currently back up your DB, and how?

Would you trust/pay for a vendor-agnostic, usage-based service?

What would you want to see before using something like this in production?

Not pitching yet — just looking for brutal feedback before building further.
