SQL database developers
Business model
Paid SaaS with tiered pricing
Effort
A few months

Developers struggle to debug database performance issues, especially cursor-related problems. Build a real-time monitoring tool that visualizes cursor activity and alerts on potential issues.

Target developers working with SQL databases, particularly in production environments. Offer a paid SaaS with tiered pricing based on database size.

Start by supporting popular databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL. Later add more database types and advanced debugging features.

The risk is database vendors adding similar monitoring features to their own tools.
