What Our Advertisers Say
"We were struggling to compete with AWS RDS's default positioning. Idlen let us reach developers at the exact moment they were setting up their database layer. Our free tier signups tripled in 3 months."
Why Database Companies Choose Idlen
The database market is fiercely competitive. Cloud providers bundle managed databases with their platforms, making it hard for independent database companies to get in front of developers before they default to AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL.
Reach Developers at the Right Moment
Traditional advertising reaches developers when they're browsing content. Idlen reaches them when they're actually building:
- During database schema design
- While debugging query performance
- When setting up new projects
- During AI-assisted code generation
This context-aware timing means your message arrives when database decisions are top of mind.
Technical Targeting That Actually Works
Generic "developer" targeting wastes budget on frontend developers who'll never need your data warehouse solution. Idlen's tech stack detection ensures precision:
| Target Segment | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Prisma + PostgreSQL users | Managed Postgres alternatives |
| Redis users | Cache solution upgrades |
| MongoDB users | Document DB migrations |
| SQLAlchemy + FastAPI | Python backend infrastructure |
| Drizzle + TypeScript | Modern ORM users |
Compete with Cloud Giants
Cloud providers have distribution advantages, but they can't offer:
- Specialized solutions for specific use cases
- Better developer experience than generic managed services
- Transparent pricing vs. unpredictable cloud bills
- Open source commitment and community
Idlen helps you communicate these differentiators to developers actively making infrastructure decisions.
