I’ve only seen a couple of repos like this, but I’ve seen enough to agree that this is totally the right answer.
To people who doubt it, keep in mind that 10 years is a very very long time. Rust is not yet 10, Go is just barely 10. React is 7 and jQuery is 13. Cloudflare is 10, Stripe is 10, Hashicorp is 8 and Docker is 7.
Can you point to some worthy examples of this as proofs of existence? And I mean something truly novel, and not simply a different way to do something we already can do.
How many projects are there to automatically API-ify a database with auth boilerplate today? At least a few well funded ones, one recently funded by YC even.
They came up with it in 2015? 2016? and still have a thriving project going with it. Looks like less than 10 people have more than 10 commits in its history:
Having followed the PostgREST project for years, it’s been wild to see the recent explosion of similar sorts of projects (as you describe); I’d very much believed this was a “solved problem”.
And Solr in 2004, but a json store returning json is not really the same as building a highly performant SQL client that works over http with support for operations on ~45 to 50 data types.

That's a really vague statement but you described phpmyadmin, django, wordpress with a plugin, etc. Most successful CRM companies essentially have some framework doing this underneath as well.
