- Simple workflow if you know SQL; no need to write backend API code
- Flexible embedding options through React components, iframes, or direct API calls
- Caching and parameterisation reduce unnecessary database queries
Limitations
- Requires SQL knowledge; not suitable for teams without database expertise
