Postgrest has a very clever design. I want to see other tools going this route.

It would be kinda cool to find a way to stuff a fast HTTP server into Postgres and run it all directly from the Postgres process serving the request.
There is an nginx module for this.
People seem to dislike this because they want separate components in order to 'scale out', but honestly, having the option for most trivial applications would be extremely nice. Even more so when you consider Postgres supports routines written in non-sql programming languages.
