Earlier quoted context omitted.

you may think of it as a cloud function, we mostly focus on HTTP based data ingestions without a storage layers. e.g. Your app is sending some data, Fleak can be used to create an API to process that data then return back to the app synchronously or save the processed data directly into a storage layer.

For someone who is not deep into AI lingo, this pretty much sounds like an ORM + Cloudflare Worker/AWS Lambda. But I'm probably really off here. What would really help would be a concrete business case for when someone would use this and how it helps vs other options

Indeed, and no you are not off. We heard lots of feedback for building out business cases so we are will be working on that. Thanks a lot for the feedback

Maybe consider something like:

"Dynamic scaling ML based coordinator to minimize infrastructure resource costs"

Inferring the novelty of your firms value proposition would be more palatable to those that are risk averse to buzzwords. Note, simply dropping "AI" 128 times into a presentation like Intel/nvidia will unlikely work for a smaller firm.

Best of luck, =3

This is gold! practicing this pitch in front of a mirror right now. Agree on the AI part, time has changed....(we figured it was a great buzz word 6 months ago...now not so sure any more) T_T

I have gone through Fleak's documentation and demo videos, and also ran a few demos myself. I must say, Fleak seems like a fantastic product, especially suitable for enterprise users or professional engineers in the industry. However, from a personal developer's perspective, I feel that the documentation and demo videos are somewhat too professional and not as user-friendly for ordinary users like me. For instance, as a regular web scraping engineer, I need a simple and effective way to process the data I collect. While there are some basic open-source products available that could meet my needs, the learning curve, the necessity of running a server, and additional costs (like purchasing tokens for LLM) are daunting.

If a manufacturer could provide a one-stop service, including easy-to-understand documentation, tutorials or demo videos aimed at beginners, at a reasonable price, while ensuring the reliability of the service, I would be very willing to pay for their products. I hope Fleak could consider the needs of users like us, to further optimize the product and services, making it easier for more individual developers to get started with Fleak.

Looking forward to future improvements and updates from Fleak, and continuing my support for you guys!

This seems like a no code platform for developing APIs. Although I am not sure if it supports all kind of data like Relational, NoSQL, Graph data etc. Also in cases where complex business logic is needed over the data, what would one implement them.
