> I don't understand what's the benefit of adding additional third party code into the hot-path. Adding yet another endpoint is hardly a lot of work, sometimes even auto-generated and has the benefit of being available in your existing monitoring / instrumentation environment already. If your existing endpoints already support vertical and horizontal filtering, proper pagination, joining, limiting etc. then you won't get much benefit. > Also what about caching if people can "craft" random queries and send them straight to your PG instance? Queries can be blocked or rewritten on the reverse-proxy.
