Rationale

Plato positions itself as 'Airtable for your SQL database,' focusing on building admin panels. It directly integrates with SQL databases (PostgreSQL and MySQL), which aligns with 'API & Database Integrations'. The ability to join tables into 'virtual tables' and track 'virtual columns' suggests a form of data manipulation and customization, which can be seen as a simplified 'Code Customization' for non-engineers. The mention of configuring tables to be read-only and not storing row data, along with upcoming on-premise deployment, indicates 'Access Control & Security' and 'Flexible Deployments'. While it doesn't explicitly mention a drag-and-drop UI builder, the concept of making databases accessible for business operations implies a user-friendly interface for building tools.
