Post excerpt:
We just released our database, SpacetimeDB, on GitHub under the BSL 1.1 license. It converts to a free software license after a few years. The point of the database is that you upload application logic into the database as a WebAssembly stored procedure, so instead of clients connecting to a webserver they connect directly to the database. The database itsel

What engineers like:
Logic is colocated inside the database so clients connect directly to it - eliminates the web server component. Also eliminates the supporting infra, so you just deploy a single binary (if you use their cloud service). Entire app state held in memory with a commit log for persistence. Clients can replicate a subset of a database using SQL.
Trade-offs & limitations:
Server only supports Rust or C#, but there is a JS SDK client. Still requires Nginx as a reverse proxy running on a VM.
Best suited for:
Developers who want to simplify their infrastructure

# Design Brief: Dark Developer

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #070b10;
  --surface: #121820;
  --foreground: #f4f7fa;
  --muted-foreground: #8e99a4;
  --accent: #3dff7a;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #070B10 (~58%) · Surface #121820 (~18%) · Text #F4F7FA (~10%) · Muted Text #8E99A4 (~8%) · Accent #3DFF7A (~6%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Code Block / Terminal / CLI
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Code & Terminal, Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Dark Developer (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and code block / terminal / cli visuals.

## Avoid

- Warm pastel backgrounds
- Playful cartoon illustrations
- Oversized pill buttons everywhere

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
