Citable Outcome

Launch content-driven applications and data APIs in days instead of weeks by managing all content from a unified platform.

About

Open-source data platform that wraps any SQL database with a real-time GraphQL and REST API plus an intuitive app.

Target Audience: Product and engineering teams building custom web, mobile, and internal applications on top of SQL databases
Not ideal for: Organizations that want a fully managed, consumer-focused CMS with no database setup or developer involvement.

What makes it different

  • Open-source platform that sits directly on top of your existing SQL database
  • Auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from your schema without custom backend code
  • Provides a flexible no-code admin app for both technical and non-technical users
  • Offers granular role-based permissions, workflows, and extensibility for complex data models
