This is actually very interesting. I think you guys should do a short video describing the problem and how your product solves it. It's a little difficult to process how your product falls into a "typical" workflow.

I _know_ I was looking for something like this before. I think db versioning is a huge pain. Are migration files really the best we can do? I don't think so. You product seems to be trying to solve that problem. I think you need to communicate that "quicker." A short video might do that. It doesn't have to be fancy, just show it in action.

I wish you guys would put up a "How It Works" page with more detail. I saw the FAQ under Pricing, but that's not the place I would expect to find all the info.

- Like pie asked, is this a remote proxy?

- What happens if I start a transaction and then the storage engine detects a deadlock and rolls back the transaction?

- What DBs does it work with? I think you say any DB but I have a hard time believing that.

- What is performance like?

- Zero downtime? That sounds like snake oil.

- Can I have an internally hosted solution?

- Shouldn't this be implemented at the storage engine level?

Anyway it sounds very interesting but the devil is in the details.
