We've been building things together for a long time. LEGO first, then software.Across every company and project since, one thing kept showing up: database access security was broken. Not always dramatically. Sometimes it was the budget. Sometimes months of convincing. Sometimes just a quiet burden nobody talked about.Support staff with access to every customer's financial data. Engineers who left but somehow still had credentials. A "temporary" password living in Confluence or floating around in Slack DMs.It's 2026 and this is still the default.Solutions cost time and money, usually both. Or they need self-hosting and years of maintenance. Or they're homebrewed and will break sooner than you'd like. You could vibe-code something, sure. But do you want to do that for something as critical as your customers' data?rmBug was built because of this. It gives everyone touching your database their own identity. No shared credentials, no orphaned access, no murder mysteries. Whether you're two founders or two hundred engineers, you shouldn't need an enterprise contract or a weekend of self-hosting to know who's in your data.We launch with MySQL and PostgreSQL today, April 1st. Not a joke.What we support will grow with your feedback. We're here.Try it at rmbug.com. Tell us what's missing.Mario & Luka

Could you build this?

Partial While an administrative UI and access-request workflow can easily be vibe-coded, an enterprise-grade database proxy requires low-level wire protocol parsing, connection multiplexing, and robust security isolation.

What it would actually take: A production-grade implementation requires a high-performance network proxy written in Go or Rust that intercepts and parses database wire protocols (such as PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol). It must perform real-time SQL AST parsing for query sanitization, row-level masking, and cryptographic audit log immutability without adding unacceptable query latency. Expertise in network systems programming, database internals, and zero-trust security infrastructure is required.
