This offering seems a lot more compelling than the serverless databases offered by AWS directly.

At least if cost and scaling to zero is important to you. Dynamodb addresses the cost issue, but it's so painful to use, and is unsuitable for a lot of use-cases. Aurora Serverless takes 30 seconds to cold-start, so it's also usually a non-starter, other than for batch type workloads.

So great work, but I have a couple of questions:

Any plans to support AWS privatelink? I played around with this a bit, and it seems you need to connect to it over the internet which isn't always ideal.

Will there be a limit on how many free databases you can create? I think there are some valid use-cases where one might want to create a bunch of them, but I would be scared to do this at the risk of being kicked off your platform for abuse.
