Ask HN: A Dumb Database?
5 by kashnote | 6 comments on Hacker News.
I have two scenarios where I want to store certain values outside of my main database and I'm looking for a SaaS solution. 1: When a user joins my website, I want to show them a Welcome popup. Once they see this popup, I want to mark has_seen_welcome_popup to true. Next time they log in, I'll know not to show it to them. This is just one example. I may want to have a dozen of these sort of values defined per user. 2: Let's say I have a banner on the landing page that says "40% off" and I want to change that to "30% off." Instead of making a code change, I want to make this change in some sort of UI in the SaaS and have it update automatically. --- Basically just need a place to store little things that I don't really want to store in the main database. And some nice UI where I can toggle those values as an admin without touching the prod DB. My initial thought is to use Airtable but I'm not sure if there is something more purpose-built for this sort of scenario.
