Description
Problem
Hey, I'm Vadim from Neon. And I have one tricky idea in mind which I want to test. I want to embed Postgrest into our proxy component. What is actually needed is if it is possible to export some functions from your codebase as FFIs and compile a library that I can link in my rust code.
I've already tried some simple Haskell functions, which I can call from the Rust.
I personally need the thing that converts HTTP requests into SQL. I can build a request object in Rust and pass it to Postgrest, and I would love to receive a response.
@steve-chavez wdyt about it?
