Curious if you have a specific use case for sandboxed JS that you would share?


I want to build software features where users can configure some additional JavaScript to run in order to customize that software.

One example: given this database table run this JavaScript function against every value in this column to calculate a value to be stored in another column.

Or once a day fetch the JSON from this URL and transform it with this JavaScript and store it here.
