All you have to do is put POSTGREST in front of your database and it turns your POSTGREST database directly into a RESTful API, which means that you can just run SQL queries directly from your browser securely. Any table I have is going to be automatically mapped to HTTP endpoints, so I don't need to write or maintain my own API with custom endpoints for every single access pattern. I can just query the database directly from my frontend using HTTP requests.
