Repetitive CRUD operations for simple applications create unnecessary overhead and boilerplate for developers.
Data API Builder is an open-source tool that generates REST and GraphQL endpoints from your database at runtime.
The tool provides built-in support for filtering, sorting, pagination, authentication, caching, and OpenAPI documentation.
Use simple CLI commands like `dab init`, `dab add`, and `dab start` to initialize, configure, and run your API.
The configuration file is structured into data source, runtime, and entity sections to define API behavior.
Consume the generated API through standard REST endpoints, OData query options, or flexible GraphQL queries with relationships.
A practical demonstration shows a React application interacting with the generated API, including role-based permissions and GraphQL queries.
Extend the API's capabilities by intercepting specific requests with a gateway like API Management to trigger custom serverless functions.
Secure your API using providers like Entra ID or JWTs and define granular access control with roles, item security, and field security.
Deploy Data API Builder anywhere using Docker containers on services like Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps, AWS Fargate, or Google Cloud Run.
Azure Static Web Apps offers a built-in integration that hosts the Data API Builder for you, simplifying deployment.
