This reminds me of Kloudless: https://kloudless.com/

It's interesting though that CloudRail is library-only; I like that you don't need to worry about CloudRail uptime. However, doesn't this mean I need to upgrade my dependency when a downstream API changes? With Kloudless or other gateways, the gateway can update independently of my application, so the strategy is a trade off

You are right, in the end it is a trade off. CloudRail has no down times, can't touch your data and is as performant as a native implementation. But yes, in case of an API change you have to update the SDK. We have a notification system though. You will get an email if you are affected by a change.
