Could you build this?
Partial The visual data modeler and generated CRUD API are vibe-codeable, but a production service needs secure multi-tenant isolation, managed databases, and reliable hosting at scale.
What it would actually take: A builder could start with a schema designer that generates an OpenAPI spec and a Postgres-backed CRUD layer. The hard parts are tenant isolation, auth and security hardening, migrations, and running the hosted service reliably, which requires backend and DevOps expertise.
