Thank you for the praise, however i really want to stress that Sub0 (and PostgREST) are not prototyping tools only :)

It's true that you don't build api's with them the way you would with a more traditional stack but you can build real products with this a lot faster. This style of building APIs clicks faster with people that use (and trust) Postgres

Do you have any nontoy examples of this? I.e. nontrivial apps in heavy use.
Since it's in private beta which started a few weeks ago there is not specific system in production of Sub0 specifically, but someone (medical research institute with lots of research data) is already building a React frontend over their massive Postgres database using Sub0 and so far it's going well. The tutorial i provide explains building a complete API for something like Trello At the core of the system sits PostgREST and you can see a few users here http://postgrest.com/en/v0.4/intro.html#in-production although i suspect a lot more people are using it but don't advertise it. I've also done extensive performance test for speed, those numbers on the home page are real :)
