When I was at Retool (Hi Kyle), we wanted to create a way for users to write arbitrary code that got executed against their data in our cloud, e.g. using the MongoDB Node SDK to write Mongo queries in JS instead of only being able to use the pre-defined functions and form fields we had. Engineering researched it for a while, tried out Lambda and a few other things, but we never got there. This would have been sick

We think about the Retool case a lot. User-defined database connectors were an initial inspiration to start building Riza.
