DreamFactory Enterprise

DreamFactory is a low‑code API platform that turns your existing databases and services into secure, documented REST APIs in minutes. Instead of writing and maintaining custom integration code for every application, DreamFactory automatically generates APIs for Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Oracle, MongoDB, files, email, and more.

Built on the modern Laravel framework, DreamFactory includes a web‑based administration console, powerful role‑based access control, and built‑in support for single sign‑on, OAuth, and directory services. Developers get clean, standards‑based APIs out‑of‑the‑box, while IT teams retain full control over security, performance, and auditability.

With DreamFactory on Azure, you deploy a complete API backend into your own subscription, connect it to your data sources, and immediately start building or integrating applications without writing boilerplate API code.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic API generation for data sources
• Instantly generate REST APIs for SQL (e.g., SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Oracle) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB).
• Manage files, email, push notifications, messaging, and more through consistent APIs.
• Enterprise‑grade security and access control
• Centralized user management and role‑based access control.
• Support for SSO, OAuth, and directory integrations (e.g., Entra ID/Azure AD and others).
• Granular permissions per service, table, and even per‑field.
• Built‑in scripting and business logic
• Use PHP, Python, or Node.js scripts to customize request and response behavior.
• Inject business rules, validations, and transformations without changing underlying apps.
• Admin console and documentation
• Web‑based admin interface for configuring services, users, and roles.
• Auto‑generated API documentation for your endpoints.
• Deploy anywhere, own your data
• Deployed inside your own Azure subscription, using your own databases and infrastructure.
• BYOL option lets you apply existing DreamFactory licenses and align with your procurement model.

Typical use cases:

• Modernizing legacy databases with REST APIs for web and mobile apps.
• Rapidly exposing data from multiple systems to analytics tools or integration platforms.
• Creating a standardized API layer across disparate databases and services.
• Providing a secure backend for internal or external developers.
