Product Overview
Instantly Create and Run Database APIs - Flask, SQLAlchemy. Customize with Python and Rules.
Python, Flask and SQLAlchemy are a great foundation for building servers. And it's straight-forward to build a single endpoint -- many great courses and articles on building a basic Hello World server.
But, it's a long way from Hello World to a running system, with a full API (filtering, pagination, optimistic locking), a usable UI, integration, etc. And then there's the business logic, often nearly half the effort. There's got to be a better way.
Imagine you could create a running system, instantly.
Customize it in standard ways: your IDE, Python, Flask, and SQLAlchemy.
And, declare business logic with spreadsheet-like rules, reducing business logic by 40X?
Well, you've just imagined API Logic Server. Here's how it works.
1. Create: Automate Project Creation With a Single CLI Command
The ApiLogicServer create CLI command creates an executable project by reading the database schema in the db_url argument. For example, this will create an executable, customizable project from the pre-installed sample database:
2. Run: Automated JSON:API, Admin App
The project is executable, providing a JSON:API and an Admin App:
The Admin App provides a link to the Swagger to explore the JSON:API:
3. Customize: Rules and Python
The project is customizable in your IDE. Declare rules in Python for logic and security. Rules are an executable design, as shown below.
Rules are unique and significant - 40X more concise than code, and extensible with Python.
4. Integration: custom endpoints, Kafka messages
For application integration, you can use standard Flask to create new endpoints:
And, extend logic - with Python - to produce Kafka messages:
Download and Try
This quick tour has shown how to create and customize a system in days instead of weeks or months. Not just faster, also much simpler.
It's because the system is declarative: you specify what you want to happen, instead of coding it out each little detail.
You can repeat this demo in 15 minutes. Install API Logic Server, and follow the Tutorial.
Then, try it with one of your own databases (MySql, Sql/Server, Ingres, Oracle, Sqlite). Join our Slack, and tell us what you think!
