- There is no fear of hitting a limit and suddenly having to start paying 500$ per month when you have been using it for free for a while - You don't have to worry about infrastructure because datasets are available as a service - With an open-source UI based on React, you don't have any limits to what you can build - For some reason, I could not find a service that provided schema as code before Sanity, and I cannot understand how anyone could think this was a good idea.
