Tom, thank you. I am emotionally responding similarly to this announcement as how I felt about File Attachments. In your model, there is no need to fear the authorization, which is an incredible gift. Beyond this, there is clear communication that a user is accessing a data store, and that your user has certain privilege on the data store as defined by the owner / administrator (which can be yourself or anyone). For myself as a novice Linux user, I liken this to exposing your file system first to a ‘root’ user, and from there you can delegate privalege to various sub directories when building your network architecture (and deciding for your system what you are or are not exposing publicly). In effect, you’ve gifted us the capacity to use Observable to deploy any web application, and to authenticate to that web application flexibly – and swap out one’s own data storage backend or borrow on @tomlarkworthy free-tier limits! This is brilliant (and scary 
) ! Thank you!
