Welcome to the documentation for pRESTd, an open-source API designed to facilitate the development of products with SQL databases, focusing primarily on PostgreSQL.
pRESTd is a project that joins the powers of PostgreSQL and REST APIs by creating an innovative platform that simplifies the development and deployment of new APIs using low code. It transforms HTTP RESTful requests into PostgreSQL queries, empowering developers to speed up development, reduce manual coding, and enhance data accessibility. With robust security features, scalability, and seamless integration, pREST API helps businesses unlock the full potential of their data, driving efficiency and growth.
Low time to market: to deploy a pREST service, all you need is a modelled database, and it will provide you with a RESTful API to that database;
Leverages low-code tech: you don't need to code if you don't want to, but if you need custom SQL queries, it is easy to create and connect to;
Simplified Database Operations: Perform everyday database queries from an HTTP request, reducing the complexity of SQL interactions.
Efficient Data Management: Streamline data handling processes, making it more convenient for developers and organizations to manage their information.
Enhanced Security: Leverage built-in security features to ensure your database operations are robust and secure.
Scalability: Designed to scale with your needs, pRESTd can adapt to the requirements of varying-size projects.
Open Source and Community-Driven: Benefit from the collaborative efforts of a vibrant open-source community. Contribute, report issues, and participate in shaping the project's future.
pRESTd offers a simple integration process. Developers can quickly incorporate the API into their projects or databases, drastically reducing the development time of any product.
All you need to start is a new or old SQL database and inject its credentials as a configuration environment variable, and then you have a production-ready RESTful API out of the box.
Our extensive documentation provides detailed information on how to use and configure pRESTd. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, you'll find the resources you need to get started.
Perform complex SQL queries with ease using pRESTd. The API is designed to handle a variety of queries, allowing you to interact with your PostgreSQL database in a way that suits your needs.
Bring your custom code, SQL queries, and middlewares to pRESTd; it is fully extensible to your needs.
We prioritize the security of your data. pRESTd includes features to help safeguard your database, including encryption and access control mechanisms.
pRESTd is a community-driven project, and we welcome contributions from developers of all skill levels. Check out our Contributing Guidelines to learn how you can get involved in the development process.
