Thanks for the response.

We considered starting with the raw queries and adding apis later, but unfortunately it just didn't make sense for us as it was ultimately less effort to just use our existing SSR rails views and we wouldn't have to dedicated more resources to augmenting internal tools even more, or managing the extra infrastructure needed for appsmith (hosted solution on other infrastructure was not an option unfortunately) - we don't use mongodb so adding it (for the appsmith datastore) to our infra was not something we really wanted to do either.

We did decide to revisit in the future as we are building some distributed services and appsmith might be a better fit then when we need to build a unified UI for all of our services.
