Lot of PostgreSQL but not a single commenter uses PostgREST.

Curious if it's just because the tool isn't well known enough or if it's because it has some serious drawbacks? Or people don't like writing SQL?



I love sql and have tried Postgres and posgraphile. The idea is really attractive, having the datastore home ask the business logic. But it’s kind of a pain to maintain and make changes. Plus there’s not a huge ecosystem around it like django, ruby, Phoenix, next has. And then there’s the whole exit thing— it’s not popular enough to find cheap developers to maintain it.


My friend uses it, I think, for for his single man GIS startup.


Works well, does what he needs it to.
