Manifest
Manifest is a backend-as-a-service that builds a live admin panel and REST API from a YAML schema file.
About Manifest
Manifest lets you define your entire backend data model in a single YAML file, then gives you a working admin panel and a REST API with zero extra code. You write the fields, relations, and permissions, and it handles the database setup, CRUD operations, and authentication automatically. It is built to speed up prototyping and internal tool creation without locking you into a rigid framework.
The project runs as a Node.js server with SQLite or PostgreSQL as the database backend. It generates a clean browser-based admin interface where you can manage records, set up user roles, and inspect relationships. The API endpoints follow REST conventions and include pagination, filtering, and sorting out of the box. The tool also supports custom authentication providers and file uploads.
It is aimed at developers who want to skip boilerplate for small to medium projects. Manifest is open source under the MIT license and can be deployed on any cloud VPS or local machine. The main project is maintained by the Berlin-based developer community around Manifest. The current stable release is version 0.33.0.
