You skip the backend entirely and query from the frontend. PostgREST and Postgres is your backend. If you want extra sauce on top you route those paths to an application that does whatever extra imperative operations you need.

So a kind of "mini-Firebase" ? and then you have security through row-based security?

But this also means your users can generate their own queries, possibly doing some weird stuff taking down the db, so I assume it's more for "internal tools"?

This always sounds super messy to me but I guess supabase is kind of the same thing and especially for side projects it seems like a very efficient setup.
