Most of the heavy artillery RDMSes at least, eg Postgres let’s you mount arbitrary HTTP resources as tables, which you then can put views over: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers

This sounds like a total minefield. You might get a response in the same format, but I imagine it'd be very easy to break an API user who accidentally depends on performance characteristics (for example).

AWS RDS and Aurora both support synchronous and asynchronous lambda invocations from the database. Should be used very carefully, but when you want/need a fully event-driven architecture, it's wonderful.
