Hi HN community, it is been 2 years since I developed Apisentris (https://apisentris.com) that initially aimed to make my big brother easier to consuming data from his database (MySQL, back then). He is non programmer and wanted me to create some programming scripts to do his jobs. I found out "Database to API" libraries already out there but we have to do some programming works and server configuration to make them work. So that's the idea, what if there is a platform that would instantly generates API from database(s) without (reduce) all of scary configs stuff and backend coding things. I talked to my programmer fellas about this idea and the responses was possitive. They said that it will be useful for frontend developers as well. Then I started to code.

WHAT DOES APISENTRIS DO:

- Converts MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and Google BigQuery to RESTful API

- Whitelist API consumers (you can allow only specific domains / ip addresses able to access your APIs)

- Multiple databases in single account

- Unified API endpoints across databases

- Team collaboration

- Filtering and paging

- Custom endpoint (Intended for complex query, e.g. full text search, geospatial query and aggregate)

- More features coming soon :)
