Dependency Management Data can now use sql-studio for database browsing

As noted in Dependency Management Data's web application can now be deployed as a single static binary, Dependency Management Data's web application has recently added a lightweight embedded web browser to enable running as a single static binary.

Last week I learned about sql-studio from Laravel News on my Google News feed and have really been enjoying using it, and enjoying the UI design as well as the database visualisation and the fact it can be deployed as a single static binary.

I've been working with upstream to add support for running it behind a reverse proxy with the intent of being able to run it with dependency-management-data.

As of today's v0.98.0 release, it's now possible to do that 🚀

For instance, this is what the overview page looks like against the example database:

I'm working with upstream in terms of running on musl-based systems like Alpine Linux and in distroless images, so until those are complete, the example web app won't have an example of sql-studio.

I'm looking forward to using it, and hopefully making it available as a good option for lightweight deployments, although note that it's a bit heavier on the frontend, requiring client-side Javascript, so may not suit every deployment model.
