Query your prod database from a hotel lobby

A user pings you on Slack: one customer's invoices look wrong. You're four time zones from your laptop, eating room-service pasta in a hotel lobby. You open the bookmark on your phone.

It's the SQLite web UI for the prod container. You type a SELECT, you see the rows. Three pending invoices with the wrong tax rate. You write the UPDATE inside a transaction, hit run, watch the rows change, paste the diff into Slack.

No SSH client on your phone. No VPN. No bastion. No psql binary. The auth is the URL, the driver is HTTP, the editor is the browser. The database has been a website all along: you just hadn't noticed.
