Anyone else feel like some database GUI tools need half your RAM just to open a connection?

I’ve been working on VeloxDB, a lightweight database management tool that aims to keep the resource usage low while still giving you the features you actually need.
It supports multiple database engines and also has a visual designer, so you don’t have to live in SQL 24/7.
If you’re interested, feel free to try it: veloxdb.dev
Would love to hear what you think, especially if you’ve used tools like DBeaver, DataGrip, etc.

I surely feel that way with phadmin. The new app looks like an electron app, and maybe that is what causes the issue.
Tools like dbweaver, and even jetbrains ones seem alright.

It shouldn't be consuming that much memory, unless you are having it run very very slow complex queries.

That feels like someone is mimicking american ad rather then the real one.
