----------
Database as Single Source of Truth
----------------------------------
Using PostgREST is an alternative to manual CRUD programming. Custom API servers suffer problems. Writing business logic often duplicates, ignores or hobbles database structure. Object-relational mapping is a leaky abstraction leading to slow imperative code. The PostgREST philosophy establishes a single declarative source of truth: the data itself.

Declarative Programming
-----------------------
It's easier to ask PostgreSQL to join data for you and let its query planner figure out the details than to loop through rows yourself. It's easier to assign permissions to db objects than to add guards in controllers. (This is especially true for cascading permissions in data dependencies.) It's easier to set constraints than to litter code with sanity checks.
