Idea

A modern, web-based SQL editor designed for teams that need security compliance (SSO, audit logs) without relying on cloud services. Solves the problem of teams stuck between clunky desktop tools and cloud solutions that don't fit enterprise security requirements.

Why this is interesting

The shift toward stricter data residency requirements — GDPR enforcement, SOC 2 audits, and growing enterprise reluctance to route queries through third-party cloud infrastructure — has created real demand for self-hosted tooling that doesn't sacrifice UX. Retool and Metabase exist but are either overkill for pure SQL workflows or still push users toward their cloud offerings. The $2k–10k/mo band is plausible if you target mid-market engineering teams on annual contracts, since per-seat pricing with audit/SSO features commands legitimate budget from compliance-conscious buyers. The biggest risk is the sales cycle: self-hosted enterprise tooling requires champions inside organizations, procurement conversations, and ongoing support load that crushes solo founders before revenue materializes.
