JackDB Database Development in your web browser
summary
A web-based SQL client and proxy that actually centralizes connections, tags every statement with the real user for query audit, and claims 18 seconds to connect from OAuth-backed Heroku configs. It runs on Postgres/Amazon, uses a scrolling result cursor in the browser, stores credentials encrypted, offers two-factor and LDAP hooks, and implements SSL certificate pinning plus a helper to extract server certs. Useful if centralized auditing, easy cloud onboarding, and simplified firewall rules matter.
