SoBeGuyQ: Looks great, BUT...
No MySQL support is a non-starter. I get that Postgres is currently in vogue, probably due to the popularity of Supabase, but MySQL is still the most popular open-source database by far.
Inability to firewall the incoming connections by IP address is crazy. No way would I open up my database port to the public internet. No one in the right mind would do that. Even if you have confidence in the strength of your passwords/keys, you're still exposing the port to brute force attacks, which could overload the database causing it to become non-responsive.
You mentioned a "roadmap" a bunch of times, but I don't see a link to any roadmap.
I would buy this today if I had confidence that you will support MySQL and provide a more secure connection method in the near future.

Regarding secure connectivity / IP allowlisting: We’re actually actively working on making Dreamlit’s DB connections originate from a known, allowlistable IP range (i.e. Cloudflare egress, IPs published here: https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/); this should land in the next couple of days.
Regarding MySQL: We’re Postgres-first today and don’t have immediate MySQL support planned, but it’s on our radar and we do intend to expand to it over time based on demand.
What about an SSH tunnel, like what Fivetran does?
We don’t support SSH tunnel / private-connectivity options in the AppSumo tiers today. If this is a hard requirement, you may be a better fit for our regular Enterprise plan; we can offer enhanced security/connectivity options (including private connectivity / on-prem style setups) depending on your environment.
