DataBridge
Auto-generate production-ready REST APIs from any database
Turn your MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, or CockroachDB into a fully functional REST API in seconds.
Built on Prisma 7 and Fastify. Skip the boilerplate, ship faster, maintain control.
Why DataBridge exists
Modern backend development involves repetitive, error-prone work:
- • Writing CRUD routes for every table
- • Keeping API specs in sync with schema changes
- • Generating type-safe clients for frontend teams
- • Maintaining consistency across environments
Teams waste hours on database integration glue instead of solving real problems.
DataBridge treats your database schema as source of truth and compiles everything else from it.
Key Features
Multi-Database Support
5 databases supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, and CockroachDB. Built on Prisma 7 with modern driver adapters.
Auto-Generated REST APIs
Full CRUD endpoints for all tables. Pagination, error handling, health checks, and metrics built-in. Production-ready Fastify server.
Interactive API Documentation
Swagger UI at /docs for testing endpoints in your browser. Auto-generated OpenAPI 3.0 spec. Import into Postman, Insomnia, or any API client.
Multi-Language SDK Generation
Generate type-safe SDKs in 50+ languages from your OpenAPI spec. Angular, React, Vue, Svelte, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, and more.
Custom Queries & Schemas
Extend beyond CRUD with databridge.queries.ts. Transform responses with databridge.schemas.ts. Full Prisma Client access with validation.
Self-Hosted & Extensible
Deploy anywhere Node.js runs. Full code ownership. No vendor lock-in. Customize generated code to fit your needs.
OpenAPI Ecosystem
📋 OpenAPI 3.0 Spec
Auto-generated specification at /openapi.json. Import into Postman, Insomnia, or generate client SDKs in any language.
🧪 Interactive Testing
Swagger UI at /docs lets you test every endpoint directly in your browser. No Postman collections needed.
📦 SDK Generation
Generate type-safe client libraries in 50+ languages. One command creates Angular services, React hooks, Python clients, and more.
✅ Contract Testing
OpenAPI spec enables automated API testing with tools like Dredd, ensuring your API matches its documentation.
Use Cases
Rapid Prototyping
Who: Startup teams building MVPs
Problem: Need backend API quickly without boilerplate
Solution: Run `databridge init` → working API in minutes
Outcome: Ship features, not CRUD code
Frontend-Backend Integration
Who: Full-stack teams with TypeScript frontend
Problem: Keeping types in sync between API and frontend
Solution: Generate type-safe SDK from database schema
Outcome: Refactors propagate automatically, no manual type sync
Microservices Data Layer
Who: Platform teams building internal tools
Problem: Multiple services need consistent data access patterns
Solution: Generate standardized APIs for each database
Outcome: Reduced cognitive load, consistent patterns across services
