Show HN: Pantry – Free JSON Storage for Personal Projects

Very cool! I was looking for something like this about a month ago when I was building an example web application for firmware developers. Firmware engineers aren't expected to know anything about databases and usually don't, so I just wanted some dumb JSON store in the cloud that didn't need any provisioning.

In the end, I went with Heroku and it's included PostgreSQL offering and stomached the complexity, but along the way I found https://jsonbox.io/, which I thought was neat and seems very similar.

Thanks for the kind words! You're essentially the use-case that I had in mind when I was developing Pantry!

How did your project turn out btw, did the firmware developers get their mind blown by web tech?

Project/Article turned out very well. It was more of a proof of concept with the code open-sourced so people can have something to start with to track firmware binary sizes on a commit-by-commit basis.

Unsure if their minds were blown, but I at least know that mine would have been if I showed it to myself a couple of years ago. During that time, I had never touched databases, migration files, or devops in general. Now that's changed, but I still try put myself in those shoes.

Wow, this is pretty neat!

I have some friends who are into firmware development so ill pass this along.

Love how verbose your docs are - good stuff!
