Making APIs Easy to build, maintain, and deploy

[treadstone]

Hey SP,

I wanted to share my new project, Rest. The goal of this product is to simplify Creating, Managing, and Deploying an API to just a few clicks.

I like to call it "B.Y.O.D." which stands for Bring Your Own Data.

So far, we have received 100+ beta signups from users who are excited to use it first in beta. While in beta, we are offering the service for free while we iron out any issues.

For any developers looking for a more straightforward way to build and deploy APIs, sign up for our beta!

Feel free to contact me on Twitter if you want to discuss anything, or have some suggestions! https://twitter.com/rhysbeingsocial

The website can be found here: https://rest.so

@treadstone How can I join the beta? I can only sign up for the wait-list.

@lilyandlove Hey bro thanks for signing up, gonna start rolling out invites really soon!

@treadstone So this simply lets you build an API that can pull data from a file? The API can't have any logic to transform the data?

 

[treadstone]

@barbie007 Not necessarily from a file, from databases, from spreadsheets; the choice is yours.

There's also a dashboard where you can drag and drop components, make routes, add rate limiting etc.

@treadstone Be sure to look at zuplo.com.

@wviolet

zuplo.com

Thanks for sharing. I think a little bit of the difference is that with Zuplo, you still have to code, which is totally fine.

Rest is trying to completely change that and make everything much more drag-and-drop. Much friendlier, and inviting to engineers of all levels.

@treadstone Glad to hear your USP.

@treadstone Maybe it's just on my display, but I would consider having the very top of your second section be visible. Initially I thought the hero was the whole site, and I would've missed the second section with the actual information about your product, only saw it because I accidentally scrolled.

 

[treadstone]

@rpd26 Hey mate, excellent feedback. I'll make sure to push an update for that!

 

[x_miar_x]

@treadstone Will it support any language Python, Java and node etc?

 

[treadstone]

@x_miar_x Yes, mate, programming language agnostic. Bring the data, and we'll handle Code, Deployments, Servers, and Security. The lot.

@treadstone Can you suggest some good sites to deploy backend nodejs for free without credit cards??? I get trouble every time

@treadstone Added my email to the waitlist.
