About DreamFactory

DreamFactory is an open source API generation platform that automatically creates REST APIs from SQL databases, NoSQL stores, and external services. It handles the entire API lifecycle including documentation, authentication, and rate limiting without requiring developers to write boilerplate code.

It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and Oracle out of the box. The platform runs on any PHP-capable server including Linux, Windows, and cloud environments. DreamFactory integrates with LDAP, Active Directory, Okta, and OAuth providers for authentication. Its scripting engine allows custom logic in JavaScript, PHP, Python, or Node.js.

DreamFactory is ideal for teams that need to rapidly expose backend data to mobile apps, single-page applications, or third-party integrations. The core is open source under Apache 2.0, with a commercial enterprise edition offering advanced security, clustering, and support. It was founded by DreamFactory Software, Inc.
