Omnigres, "Postgres as a platform", is very much in the same vein: https://github.com/omnigres/omnigres


That's cool. Seems they're focused on writing apps in SQL though.


Omnigres author here.

While it's definitely possible (and perhaps even advisable) to build many application in sql (especially if your traditional backend is mostly just slinging sql queries), Omnigres by no means limits users to that. Any other postgres PL can handle request.

Support for proxy proxying requests to Postgres-managed containers is coming, too.

The core idea here is less about using SQL or any other PL but increasing mechanical sympathy and decreasing integration, devops and network overhead of the traditional architecture.
