💡 Instant APIs as a Service

Looking for a new idea you can take to market and try to validate?

💡 PostgREST as a service

There's an opportunity to provide instant, easy to use scale & use APIs hooked up to RDS/Azure Postgres instances that people already have.

You take care of migrations and APIs, producing SDKs and scaling, and your customers get to build their API or app faster. Easy win-win.

    Hi,

    I'm note sure I understand. If I have a Database schema, how can I infer the business logic of the API for it ?

    Seems to me that the only API you can provide would be something that resembles an ORM no ?

    Am I missing something here?

      Yeah you're understanding correctly -- the idea is to give tools to do migrations & a basic API (w/ SDK!) to people who have a database already.

      Right now people generally have to write that code themselves (and turn to solutions like MongoDB/Firebase) to give them easy APIs so they can just call db.save(SomeObject).

      If we could infer business logic from DB schema, writing apps would be so much easier!

      Now one thing you could do, is offer schemas for common use-cases -- make it easy to add a reasonable layout for very commonly used patterns in SaaS applications (for example).
