Basically those plans represent the size of the clusters that are deployed for your APIs.

All of them come with a minimum 3 node database layer, and each plan increases the node counts. The medium and large plans also increase the CPU/mem of the database nodes.

Thanks! It's a great point to make. Early on I worked on a "migration" ability for the resources, so that every change you make automatically updates the underlying database. But the longer I worked on that, the more I realized I could create/delete as many APIs as I wanted working out what's necessary. Then scale it up for longevity. And the time it took to create/delete APIs was nearly as fast as some of the build times I've experienced for front-end applications.

That's ultimately what I think the value is: API development as hyper-iterative as front-end apps.

I'm still clearly working out how to describe this value. I'm developing more examples to help define what I think the best use-cases are.

There is a lot going on in the tech industry, and this is the question you should be asking yourself right now.

Be careful how you approach things you feel have simple answers.
