I would not add such access to your turnkey SAAS instrastructure. Perhaps you can offer a read-replica as an add-on but the headache will be massive when it comes to CI/CD with little ROI for most of your customers.

This is an opportunity, I think, for you to sell an Enterprise Appliance version of your application at 1000X the price. Such whales (customers willing to pay for custom BI) can host it internally, in a private-cloud or as a manged private-cluster (copy). If you go add-on replica route - then perhaps replicating data to Analytic Database with nosql type storage format will be ideal in solving schema problems and decoupling the access.

thank you! these customers are not ready for an self-hosted app with this pricetag, i am searching for kind of an way in between these solutions. i think we are on the right way now.
