give up on being a solo founder.
What you need is a cofounder who knows how to SELL!
I know because I was in the same boat. After running into my cofounders, we've had a lot of success. I can sit and focus on making the tech stack shine while they pound on doors and get customers to sign up while also getting me feedback to inform what to prioritize for future features.
I'm sure there are some who'd disagree with me and tell you to to spend time learning sales. As someone who's tried that, I can say some people just aren't cut out for it, ymmv. given your technical skills, I'd wager your time is better spent building tech. what you need is someone who does teh work of finding out if what you're building is something people want.
FYI: your product sounds crazy useful. We built out startup with postgres as the backend and its a pendulum over my head as far as how we'll scale writes once one database isn't enough. I'm hoping by then we'll have enough money to make it someone else's problem.
TLDR: find someone who's moderately tech savvy and is more interested in selling. have Him/Her approach tech companies that would find your product useful and see if they are interested. at the very least, you'll find out you're wasting your time and pivot to something more lucrative.
