@yuval : Congrats on launch. Happy to come across it. We need more people tackling this problem. UI looks cool :)

At XgeneCloud[1], we are after the same problem.

XgeneCloud provides a desktop app that can connect to any new/existing databases to instantly generate REST & GraphQL APIs.

(Supports MySQL, Postgres, SQL server & SQLite)

Happy to share notes on discord.

XgeneCloud[1] supports REST as well.

https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud

Checkout XgeneCloud for instant REST APIs on

- MySQL / MariaDB

- SQL Server / MSSQL

- SQLite

- and Postgres

https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud/

We do support instant GraphQL as well!

XgeneCloud:

An open source alternative of Parse for SQL databases : https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud

* Instantly generates REST APIs & GraphQL APIs on 'ANY' MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite & MariaDB databases.

* Has a built in GUI to design SQL schema which auto-generates reversible schema migrations.

* And lastly, the entire backend generated can be even deployed as a Lambda Function or GCP Cloud Function or Azure Function App!

Demos are below : Happy to answer any questions

Canonic Team, Congrats shipping this. UI appears slick & menus snappy.

Faced an issue creating column in a new model[1] - Can't click on any of the button in image [1] (I'm on Mac & Firefox if that helps)

We are in similar space & open source : we automatically generate REST & GraphQL APIs automatically on any Microsoft SQL Server, Postgres & MySQL databases. Do give us a try. https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud

Thanks for trying it out!

We have been experiencing some issues on Firefox, should get sorted in the next 24 hours.

XgeneCloud looks slick! Will definitely give it a go, thank you for sharing it across

Kudos, much needed. Neat documentation. Would love to try with JS APIs.

Cool, congrats on this release.

Any advantages of having Cassandra as underlying db ? An example docker-compose would help to try it out quickly.

We[1] are in similar space but mostly for SQL databases. With automatic APIs we do provide GUI for schema management.

Thanks!

The reason for Cassandra is the normal reasons someone would turn to Cassandra, fault tolerance, scalability, high write throughput. It's a powerful database we really like but can get a bad rap at times so with Stargate we wanted to make it easier for developers to get their data in and out with their preferred interface. Although we have left it open to extension so if Cassandra isn't your cup of tea we welcome PRs to add new persistence backends.

Example docker-compose and helm charts are definitely in the works! Stay tuned and we should have those out soon.

Oh that looks cool! I'm digging the UI. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try that out later and maybe we can learn some things from each other.

Cool, feel free to reach out. Happy to 've a chat.

Wow, that's really cool.

Happy to come across. Love metabase.

In business plan, does 'Isolated Application Server' and 'No Noisy Neighbors' mean the same ?

effectively, yes. For that tier, we give you a dedicated instance that runs the Metabase application and a dedicated instance for the application database

>> you shouldn't need to worry too much about re-running the generator breaking things or stomping on your code.

Can't agree more! There are code parsers which give out a DOM and then code can be manipulated. But is a bit of work. We are trying this concept in our framework.

>> I also got into the more nitty-gritty nuances of mysql through with phpmyadmin.

Have to say phpmyadmin is underappreciated. Guess a bit of UI makover can do wonders for it.
