pgweb
Lightweight, cross-platform web-based Postgres database browser distributed as a single Go binary. A read/write client tool rather than an application with its own data model.

⚙ Full Stack
Single Go binary serving both a small web UI and a thin API layer that proxies SQL queries directly to a connected Postgres instance; it holds no persistent state of its own.
📈 Scaling Analysis
As a stateless client tool it scales trivially by running more replicas, but it's inherently a single-user/low-concurrency admin tool rather than something meant to serve high request volume — scaling considerations really belong to the Postgres instance it connects to, not pgweb itself.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single-pod deployment connecting to an existing postgres pod (postgres.pod:5432) via a connection string env var; no volume or additional DB pod needed since pgweb itself is stateless. Mirror the Go binary image via mirror.gcr.io and restrict access behind auth since it grants direct SQL access.
