24 alternatives to Apisentris Converts MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB to RESTful API

INTRO: Hi HN community, it is been 2 years since I developed Apisentris (https://apisentris.com) that initially aimed to make my big brother easier to consuming data from his database (MySQL, back then). He is non programmer and wanted me to create some programming scripts to do his jobs. I found out "Database to API" libraries already out there but we have to do some programming works and server configuration to make them work. So that's the idea, what if there is a platform that would instantly generates API from database(s) without (reduce) all of scary configs stuff and backend…

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Apisentris Converts MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB to RESTful API launched in 2019; newer entries below may have overtaken it.
