PostgREST
Turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API
PostgREST is a standalone web server that automatically generates a RESTful API from a PostgreSQL database, using the database's own structure, constraints, and permissions to define endpoints. It eliminates the need for manual CRUD programming and ORM layers by treating the database as the single source of truth. It is used in production by companies like Supabase, Catarse, and others.
PostgREST reads the PostgreSQL schema, constraints, and role permissions at runtime to automatically expose them as RESTful HTTP endpoints.
