That does everything from ingesting an existing database to forms? Not really, not perfectly (not that this is "perfect" either).

There's some things that get close though, like Directus (directus.io). API-wise there's PostgREST ( http://postgrest.org/ ), PostGraphile ( https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/ ) and Hasura ( https://hasura.io/ ). Commercially there's Supabase (https://supabase.io/) which is new and based on PostgREST and their own tooling, and SubZero ( https://subzero.cloud/ ) which is similar.

There are some non-ingestion (requires you to use the frontend) headless CMS options that may also fill this space ( https://headlesscms.org/ ) if you tilt your head and squint.

This space seems to be growing, primarily on the API side, I imagine the frontend side may be next.

Currently my favorite is PostgREST and custom VueJS forms (using Quasar for "rapid dev"), but requires lots of 'bring your own' work.
