Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: PostgREST is a standalone web server that transforms any PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. This means it creates a web API that allows applications (like web or mobile apps) to interact with your PostgreSQL database using standard HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). The API's structure and permissions are determined by the database itself, making it a very efficient and secure way to build APIs. It's known for its speed and ease of use, eliminating the need to manually write a lot of API code.

Noob question: every backend framework and baas seems to have its own ORM. So where does the opportunity to write sql arises? is raw sql written only for complex queries that can not be done through an ORM? What if I want to put business logic in my sql queries.
