SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
This is cool but sadly looks abandoned.
Here's an active project that does something similar (introspects your postgres schema and runs a graphql API on top): https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile
Prisma is also interesting (but pulls more logic out of the DB).
My question with this type of logic-in-the-DB framework is how people are managing schema migrations and what infra they're running on as it's clearly a little less charted than, for instance, deploying a rails app (what I know). I really like the DRYness of writing the schema in one place and having that flow automatically into strongly typed models, API, etc with correct auth logix. This always seems like too much boilerplate with ActiveRecord and controllers.
