What is a simple alternative to PostgREST for exposing RW in a RESTful way with RW integration?

Ralph is looking for a simpler alternative to PostgREST for exposing RW in a RESTful way with RW integration. He only needs to perform selects occasionally, and throughput is not a major concern.

  • Consider using a minimal Python wrapper to run SQL statements against RW and return the result.
  • Another option is to explore Prest, which is relatively easy to set up with just a single Docker command.
  • Prest allows sharing queries as URLs and can be used for RW integration.
  • Using a Python wrapper provides benefits such as automated documentation via openapi, request validation with pydantic, and a more professional approach.
