Just as you can plug in a toaster, and add bread...
You can plug this API Appliance into your database, and add rules and Python.
API Appliance for Extreme Agility and Simplicity
AI and Rules for Agile Microservices in Minutes
Here's how to use AI and API Logic Server to create complete running systems in minutes:
- Use ChatGPT for Schema Automation: create a database schema from natural language.
- Use Open Source API Logic Server: create working software with one command.
- App Automation: a multi-page, multi-table admin app.
- API Automation: A JSON: API, crud for each table, with filtering, sorting, optimistic locking, and pagination.
- Customize the project with your IDE:
- Logic Automation using rules: declare spreadsheet-like rules in Python for multi-table derivations and constraints - 40X more concise than code.
- Use Python and standard libraries (Flask, SQLAlchemy) and debug in your IDE.
- Iterate your project:
- Revise your database design and logic.
- Integrate with B2B partners and internal systems.
Instant App Backends With API and Logic Automation
I saw career advice recommending against front-end development — "you're dependent on backend APIs — they're always late, putting front-end dev under severe pressure." Sad, but it's a story I hear often. The problem is that framework-based API development is slow and complex.
I also hear snide remarks that "if you don't like the answer from UI #1, try UI #2." It's because the logic is often not shared in the server but replicated on UI controllers.
Instant Integrations With API and Logic Automation
Integrating internal systems and external B2B partners is strategic, but the alternatives fall short of meeting business needs.
ETL is a cumbersome way to deliver stale data. And does not address B2B.
Automated Application Integration With Flask, Kakfa, and API Logic Server
This tutorial illustrates B2B push-style application integration with APIs and internal integration with messages. We have the following Use Cases:
- Ad Hoc Requests for information (Sales, Accounting) that cannot be anticipated in advance.
- Two Transaction Sources: A) internal Order Entry UI, and B) B2B partner
OrderB2BAPI.
The Northwind API Logic Server provides APIs and logic for both transaction sources:
Instant Microservices: Rules for Logic and Security
In this article, see how to build a complete database system, in minutes instead of weeks or months:
- An API, and, we'll add UI and logic to make it a microservice
- Logic and security: Multi-table constraints and derivations, and role-based security
- An Admin app: And finally, a multi-page, multi-table web app
We'll use API Logic Server (open source), providing:
