Why would I want to interact with my database over the network when I can just...do it locally? It's orders of magnitudes slower and more wasteful and it doesn't even provide all the guarantees that using actual SQL or an ORM does.

If you are using PostgREST as intended, you don't have an application layer any more. It's not something extra you put in between the application and the database, but it replaces the application.

Ah so it's like Hasura, it's a BaaS platform. Unfortunately I don't like putting all my logic in the client only.

[kccqzy]

No the logic is in the database. They encourage you to write functions to achieve custom logic in the database. Search for `create or replace function` in their tutorial to see an example.

[satvikpendem]

Yeah that is also something I don't want to do, after having used Hasura at a previous place. After a while, the logic gets convoluted when it's all in the database only.

Convoluted how?
