I think the main thing you're missing is creating an account in the DB that only has access to those views, so for each customer you'd do something like: CREATE USER customer_xyz WITH PASSWORD 'foo'; CREATE

Possibly achieve that with some views or w/e the equivalent is in your database, and database accounts that can only access those views. Another option might be to let them ingest their data directly into the existing BI tools they use

I'd stick with SQL, they can pull queries straight out of ChatGPT if they don't know it themselves. If everyone lives within one database I'd throw up a per-customer read-only database in front of it for running their queries

I like to deploy automatically from pushes to dev, staging and main which are all gated by mandatory PR reviews, and any scripts run from Lambda which are gated by account access, so it's always a deliberate occurrence and only certain

Or just 'npm ci' so you install exactly what's in your package-lock.json instead of the latest version bumps of those packages. This "automatic updating" is a big factor in why these attacks are working in the firs

The other notable thing is still waiting for M5 Max and M5 Ultra which should be a big performance increase and maybe more RAM per device, should be amazing for small clusters.

This is low-key the most exciting part of Steam's announcements today IMHO, hopefully we're not far away from being able to use it on smartphones.
