Executive Summary

Many engineering teams—especially those running immutable CI and Docker-first builds under strict security/compliance rules—struggle to generate TypedSQL during builds because existing generators require live DB access, causing flaky or blocked CI, manual workarounds, and weaker compile-time guarantees. This pain is acute for TypeScript backends and teams that value type-safe queries but must enforce offline, reproducible builds. You could build a small CLI/library that generates TypedSQL entirely offline in CI/Docker by using versioned schema artifacts (DDL dumps, JSON introspection outputs, or migration bundles), deterministic codegen, and cacheable Docker layer integration so builds remain networkless and reproducible. The product would integrate with TypeScript toolchains and common ORMs, emit stable types and query code, and include tooling to validate schema freshness in pipelines. The market looks attractive now: about 600K developer teams represent a $1.8B opportunity at ~$3K ACV, and macro trends—immutable CI, Docker-first workflows, growing TypeScript adoption, and stricter infrastructure security—create clear demand from mid/large engineering organizations and regulated industries. Competition is medium, but many existing tools are runtime-dependent or SaaS, leaving a gap for an offline-first solution. You can differentiate by focusing on deterministic offline generation, tight migration-aware schema artifact workflows, small Docker footprint, and auditable build outputs that satisfy compliance teams. Expect real product challenges—handling schema drift, multi-DB/ORM support, and initial onboarding complexity—but the combination of clear pain, solid TAM, and limited direct alternatives makes this a promising, practical product to build.

Market Opportunity

Enable offline TypedSQL generation for CI/Docker builds targets a $1.8B = 600K developer teams × $3K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY (developer tools and CI/CD tooling growth according to Stack Overflow trends and GitHub ecosystem expansion).

Key trends driving demand: Immutable CI and Docker-first builds are increasingly adopted by engineering teams, which raises demand for offline build capabilities.; TypeScript adoption and typed-query patterns in backend code are growing, increasing the value of compile-time type guarantees for DB queries.; Infrastructure security and compliance policies often prohibit runtime network access during builds, creating operational demand for offline tooling.; Dev platform teams are centralizing developer experience and will pay for reliable build artifacts and reproducible pipelines that integrate with existing CI..

Key competitors include Prisma (official), pgtyped, sqlc.
