Demo shows a Postgres query (select * from users), table bound to query results, schema introspection and autocomplete, custom React components and libraries, GitHub sync and on‑prem deploy options. Decision hinges on whether those concrete integrations, the autocomplete/schema magic, and the claimed speedup matter.
