## What it is
Esqlate is a self-hosted tool for building minimum viable admin panels quickly using only SQL queries. Written in JavaScript, it lets developers define admin interfaces declaratively without writing frontend code.

## Use cases
- build admin panels from SQL queries
- create internal CRUD tools quickly
- give non-developers a UI over database tables
- spin up a back-office dashboard without writing frontend code
- manage database records through a generated web interface

## When to choose
- you need a quick admin panel over a SQL database
- you prefer defining UIs in SQL rather than code
- you want a lightweight self-hosted internal tool

## When to avoid
- you need a highly customized frontend
- you use a non-SQL data source
- you need a project with frequent recent releases
