   So this is kind of tangentially related here, but is there a "state-of-the-art" or best practices on digging through big JS apps / frameworks / objects? Ultimately this is all code running on my machine, so it feels like

    I'm super excited for this -- it seems like it's perfect as an app-local cache of things that can be a drop-in replacement for some high-cost queries. Are there any plans to support which tables get copied over? The main postgres
