/db

SlashDB, listed as /db, builds a REST API from existing databases automatically. Developers use it as a ready-made backend for web and mobile apps or for connecting enterprise data.

The pitch is that teams spend less time on the data tier and more on features users can see.

What /db offers

• Automatic REST API — generated directly from a traditional relational database.
• Read and write access — data can be fetched and updated.
• Several formats — JSON, XML, CSV and others.
• Instant backend — suited to app development without hand-coding a data layer.
• Enterprise integration — a route to expose existing data to other systems.

Who it works with

Developers of web and mobile applications, and teams that need to link data held in older databases.
