Check out Xano, a very mature tool that tackles that. They found an early fit supporting front end platforms like Glide, WeWeb, etc.

Good point about supporting frontend platforms like Glide! And indeed it is quite close to what I am building: https://www.xano.com/technology/ and it seems that they are doing it with funding too "Xano has raised a total funding of $15.4M over 3 rounds from 2 investors".

What I don't like about Xano is integrating database tightly, which basically means that the data is hosted by Xano. I don't know if this is required or not. Many of the BaaS platforms do this, but I prefer just connecting and processing data and not hosting data.
