Hi Amesh!
Great question, we do not have set plans or timing for making our Wayspots (playable locations, non-VPS) database part of the Lightship developer toolset. This is definitely something we are considering for the future, but we are still in the design phase for planning such a service for 3rd parties.
Please also see our roadmap - https://storage.googleapis.com/nianticweb-media/lightship/lightship-roadmap.png
We will continue updating this roadmap as we push out releases: minor releases every ~6 weeks, major releases every ~6 months. And, we will update the community when we have more to share on this topic.
We really appreciate your feedback!
