Nice and a possible alternative to the very polished PocketBase.

I'm working on something similar for PostgreSQL [0], with an API compatible with the excellent PostgREST [1].

I believe these tools can be of great utility in many projects and represent a generalization compared to the dedicated middleware that was popular a few years ago. Companies like Supabase are demonstrating this.

Cool! Are you doing this mostly as a fun exercise or do you have a plan to provide something postgrest does not in the future?
Glad you like it.

I have quite ambitious plans, even though it started as a hobby project. In addition to the already developed DDL functionality and multi-database management, the next main features will include:

* Admin UI

* Projects with templates and versioning

* Migrations and deployment
