About:
PostgREST automatically generates a RESTful API from an existing PostgreSQL database schema, eliminating the need for manual backend coding. It provides secure, performant endpoints that map directly to database tables, views, and stored procedures. Its main value is enabling rapid API development by turning your database into a web service.
Key Features:
  • Auto-generates REST API from PostgreSQL schema
  • Built-in authentication and role-based security
  • High performance with low overhead
  • Supports JSON and CSV responses
  • OpenAPI/Swagger documentation generation
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping of backend APIs
  • Building data-centric microservices
  • Exposing PostgreSQL data to web/mobile applications
Alternatives:
  • Hasura – GraphQL-based, offers more real-time and event-driven features
  • Supabase – Full BaaS platform with auth, storage, and realtime subscriptions built on PostgREST
