DreamFactory is a API generation platform that automates the building, securing, and documenting of internal/private REST APIs with built-in enterprise security on bare-metal, VMs, or containers. The platform enables users to integrate any NoSQL or SQL file storage system, database, SOAP service or external HTTP to generate a ready-to-use documented REST API. Primary features of DreamFactory include data mesh, scripting, instant API creation, REST endpoint generation, foreign keys, server-side scripting, user management, role-based access, SSO authentication, live API docs, an admin console, and more. The platform also offers an ELK (Elastic, Logstash, and Kibana) module enabling users to perform reporting and auditing on API traffic. DreamFactory allows users to manage API limits on a unified platform across their organization by governing API limits at user, role, instance and endpoint levels. The solution lets users add logic to responses or requests with PHP, Python, JavaScript V8, or Node.js.
