I love the graphics and web design! It looks like a simple service, and more alternatives in the space are welcome!
Full-disclosure, I also develop a "competing" (if you can call it that) service: https://kvdb.io - my landing page isn't as nice. Our buckets offer some atomic operations on keys and Lua-based scripting (you can spit out arbitrary text or HTML and handle basic GET/POST requests with parameter parsing), which might be useful for prototyping.
You should figure out how to sustain this kind of service on $FREE. In my experience, I've found a lot of people sign up but don't use it for anything serious. One of my first customers signed up and demanded a refund immediately after he discovered "oh, your simple key-value store doesn't support SQL queries?"

Good luck!
