Mathesar
A spreadsheet-like UI for exploring and editing Postgres data directly, aimed at giving non-technical users safe, structured access to a real database. Standout trait is its deliberate single-database-dependency design — no separate app DB, just your Postgres.

⚙ Full Stack
Django (Python) backend that introspects and manipulates a target Postgres database directly, with a React frontend providing the spreadsheet-style grid UI. The app itself stores minimal separate state, leaning on Postgres schemas for both app metadata and user data.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Data safety and correctness are strong by design since it never introduces a second source of truth beyond Postgres itself, but the app tier's scaling is bounded by how much load direct schema introspection and grid rendering can put on a single Postgres instance under many concurrent editors.

Two-pod deploy — Mathesar app and the target Postgres instance (`postgres.pod:5432`) — with mirror.gcr.io images for both. Because it operates directly on user schemas, be deliberate about which Postgres database/role it's pointed at versus other apps sharing the same cluster.
