thin-backend VS Directus

A tool like https://thin.dev/ might be good for you. You can port and serve functionality a little bit at a time into thin and use their managed postgres db and the schema editor to handle the new fields in the backend.

Check out thin.dev https://thin.dev/ It uses SQL DDL statements literally as the building blocks for everything.

Postgres database has been gaining more popularity because of its advanced database and scalability. Created by digitally induced, Thin Backend is simplifying Postgres by giving users a backend server that has an API that connects with Postgres DB. You can integrate Thin Backend with:

React for UI TypeScript for Type Safety thin.dev for Data + State management

Check out https://thin.dev/ :) It's similar, supports self-hosting and uses postgres. Quick demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jj19fpkd2c&t=3s

Real-time by default for everything is really a fun way to write web apps. A little bit inspired by Meteor we've build Thin Backend, which provides a real-time API for querying data and writing to a postgres database. If you're interested, check it out at https://thin.dev/ or check the demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jj19fpkd2c

If you're curious, give it a try at thin.dev.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
