A platform to convert databases to API
A platform to convert databases to API
Hi Indie Hackers, I'm Ardian.
I'm developing a platform to convert databases to RestAPI, named Apisentris (https://apisentris.com). Currently it supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Google and BigQuery. MongoDB is coming soon.
I know there are some libraries do the same thing but knowing programming language is a must and you need to do some server setups. That is the real motivation i'm building Apisentris, building APIs without programming language and server setup.
Also check out our roadmap below and please let me know what you think.
Thank you!

Update: We just got our first paying customer!!
Awesome!
Thanks, man!
Good job!
wow, when did you launch?
Launched on Product Hunt and BetaList, 5 months ago.
Yesterday (before I posted on IndieHackers) I announced our plans and pricing to our early users. :)
The development itself started a year ago.
Your homepage looks great! Who is your target audience? Developers or non-developers? If it's non-developers, I think you need to simplify the language used on your homepage, its pretty technical :)
It is actually for both, tech and non tech-guys. But most of our existing users are developer.
You may be right. Will do some copy to make it more understandable for non tech as well so they can recognize what kind of problem that Apisentris trying to solve.
Thank you @sammydigits for your constructive feedback :)
good job.
Btw, if you want to add API analytics, I want to recommend my own company, Moesif.com check it out.

Indeed I'm looking for deep analytics for API. Will check Moesif out soon. Thank you!
thanks, let me know if you have any feedback or need any help getting started. I always appreciated it.
Sure thing :)
Thanks for your support
A Medium article to give a picture of possibility the usage of Apisentris:

Congrats @absyah Cool looking idea.
One thought for you - It would be great to include an example of the APIs that are provided. A visual showing the two DB tables and the API that gets created would help me better understand what the service provides.
But that's good idea to visualize it on the landing page. Thank you for your kind feedback @jamesfmac
Thank you @jamesfmac
There is a demo link on the page, it will redirect you to Github. One of demo is live example.
