The thing that attracted me to SplitGraph from the very start is that they are proposing to make the PostgreSQL wire protocol and SQL dialect a general interface to remote data. The interface is not only well known but backed by permissively licensed, open source libraries. Plus there are hundreds of tools that already connect to PostgreSQL.
This idea makes such sense it's a little surprising nobody did it before.
