PgREST: Node.js in the Database, compatible with MongoLab and Firebase API

Ah, so I guess I could stop avoiding traditional SQL features like triggers for fear of having code floating around outside my main app codebase, and it would generally make everything more centralised. I wouldn't have to worry about my workers having access to the correct model code and so on. Interesting.

EDIT: how easy do you think it would be to do the authentication etc outside, at the level of the nginx proxy?

For authentication (authn) it's quite easy, and in production we do have a separate authn daemon.

For authorization (authz) it's IMHO a bit better to handle it in the DB level, similar with Firebase's ACL lists.
