Reminds me of datasette, which does similar things for SQLite (and much more, too). Docs at https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/json_api.html

Example: Retrieve JSON for https://fivethirtyeight.datasettes.com/polls/president_prima... simply with https://covid-19.datasettes.com/covid/ny_times_us_counties.j... (I added a filter for Texas)

Not to be mean, but from my reading this needs Heroku free tier which no longer exists? I am very sorry if I got that wrong.

NKOTB: https://neon.tech/ Free Tier includes: compute up to 1 vCPU / 256 MB storage up to 10 GiB 3 projects per user

Doesn't look like you're the owner, but are there any notable clients using this service? With Heroku it was legit enough that you knew enough enterprise users were subsidizing the free tier to where it won't just disappear overnight.

No idea. This is an early stage startup so who knows. But if you need guarantees (it ain’t a hobby project) then best to just pay for the service from any of the big or small clouds.

Supabase has a free tier with all this included, plus more. It's the best install of postgres I've seen and I'm obsessed with how it makes triggers, auth, etc., all included.
