The Villain
"Why does backend work drain the joy out of building?"
You started coding to create something great. Somewhere along the way, it became about repetitive setup and technical busywork. Here's why.
Like with tRPC or Supabase limits, you're stuck writing the same boilerplate for every project. Many indie developers waste hours on backends instead of building features.
Platform quotas and idle timeouts destroy momentum. Your 5 side projects need 5 different databases, but the free tiers won't let you grow. Your dreams deserve better.
Configs, deployments, scaling nightmares. You wanted to create, not become a sysadmin. This false belief that 'backends must be hard' ends here.
Your data lives in someone else's database. Migration? Impossible. You're building on rented land, not owning your empire. Break free.
The Story
I used to enjoy backend code. Connecting everything felt satisfying.
But soon, I realized I was rewriting the same CRUD logic for every project. I wasted days on permissions and custom endpoints just to show a simple list.
It stopped being fun. It became a chore.
Then I found GraphQL. The idea that you could simply define a schema and get a working API automatically? That was the answer.
That's why I built Edgera. It auto-generates your API from your schema. It also handles the hard stuff like security (RBAC) and global scale out of the box.
Now I focus on the product, not the plumbing. I think you'll like it too.
