Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi, I’m Michael Christofides. I run pgMustard, which is an online tool for developers that helps them troubleshoot slow PostgreSQL queries.

I love working in small, high-trust, fun teams and wanted to design a dream job I could enjoy for decades. Developers are wonderful customers but can be tricky when it comes to pricing.

After a bumpy start, we fixed our pricing, and have been growing steadily ever since — recently passing $30k ARR.

What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?

I started pgMustard with a friend and former colleague, Dave. We met several years before, at Sorry, you need to login and/or become a member to view the rest of this content.
