Wouldn't this really just turn into a database as a service?



Since it's users, maybe call it a directory... And since it's changing, maybe even an Active Directory? Like this https://aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/ ?


But then we need some sort of Protocol to Access the Directory. It should be something Lightweight, ideally. ;)


LDAP?


No. It should prevent something like "SELECT * FROM users WHERE sex="F" and age=18".
