Which is still a webserver on top of postgresql. Sure, you're coding more in
postgresql, but by the end of the day, a database is a database and a
webserver is a webserver. Sure, you can use a kitchen knife to chop firewood,
but wouldn't a tool made for the job be better at it?
IMHO you trade flexibility and security with "simplification" Personally I'd
never ever hook my database directly to the internet - for me that's like
writing your PIN on your banking card and leave it next to the ATM :-)
