Why Platformatic?

Platformatic enables developers to efficiently develop and run APIs at scale. Historically, API developers have had to repetitively build infrastructure to satisfy foundational requirements, like authentication, authorization, caching, and connection to databases, and have had to manage microservices with technologies such as service mesh or centralized registries. This work is time consuming, undifferentiated, and painstakingly complex. With growing demands of SaaS applications, the amount of API permutations has grown exponentially and has become a development bottleneck. This has led large organizations to create dedicated platform API engineering teams to help teams deliver on business demands.

Our goal is to make API development simple: we aim is to remove all friction from the day-to-day of backend developers. Platformatic is a series of Open Source tools to build APIs. Check out our announcement video.

Platformatic Service

Setting up new projects and APIs is boring. We want to make it easy for you to get started and to have a production ready setup in no time. Platformatic Service is your starting point for creating a Node.js API on top of the Fastify framework, providing a set of batteries included defaults for all your needs.

Check out the basic Platformatic Service features:

  • Customizable via Node.js and Fastify plugins, with automatic types
  • Automatic TypeScript compilation
  • Prometheus metrics
  • Blazing fast live reloads during development
  • OpenAPI schema generation
  • GraphQL integration
  • Third-party API client generation
  • Batteries included project generator
  • File-system based routing

Platformatic DB Architecture

Platformatic DB

Are you tired of creating Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) APIs? Platformatic DB is a tool that allows you to create both OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas from your database, without having to write a single line of code. The key difference to similar tools is that Platformatic DB allows you to customize it via Node.js and Fastify plugins, because it's based on Platformatic Service.

Check out the basic Platformatic DB features:

  • Automatic OpenAPI/REST API generation from the SQL schema
  • Automatic GraphQL API generation from the SQL schema
  • Multiple databases: SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL
  • Multiple authentication methods: JWT, WebHook, HTTP Headers
  • Authorization via role based access control (RBAC)
  • Type-safety via generated types for improved database interactions

Platformatic Composer

Want to automatically compose microservices into one ecosystem with a single public API? Platformatic Composer is a new way to develop aggregated APIs, starting with OpenAPI composition across multiple API sources.

Check out the Platformatic Composer features:

  • OpenAPI composition
  • Resolve conflicts between different endpoints
  • Automatic schema refresh
  • Customizable via Node.js and Fastify plugins
  • Automatic TypeScript compilation

Platformatic Runtime Architecture

Platformatic Runtime

The Platformatic Runtime environment enables developers to leverage the perks of microservices with the deployment simplicity of a monolith. It consolidates all your Node.js applications into a single Node.js process, simplifying the development & execution of microservices.
