We really like Nile and it is definitely a company we look towards for inspiration!
While we hope to share similar DXs, our fundamental difference is that we are focused on a BYOC-first platform instead of a serverless Postgres platform. We realized that developers who were doing strict tenant-isolation were only doing it as a means to meet their customer's demands to close deals. Often, database isolation is not the only requirement; there are requirements on which cloud a database can be hosted on, or even asks to host the database on a private cloud. For these reasons, we thought that the BYOC angle gave us more flexibility to solve these problems as well as providing a easy-to-use interface.
