About:
prestd is the command-line interface for prest, a high-performance PostgreSQL REST API server. It automatically generates RESTful endpoints from your PostgreSQL database schema, allowing you to build and manage APIs without writing boilerplate code. This tool is designed to accelerate backend development by providing instant, secure, and scalable data access layers.
Key Features:
  • Automatically generates RESTful endpoints from PostgreSQL databases
  • Provides a CLI for easy setup, configuration, and management of the prest server
  • Supports authentication, JWT, and CORS for secure API access
  • Allows for custom queries and stored procedures via HTTP endpoints
  • Real-time capabilities with support for PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping of web and mobile applications using an existing PostgreSQL database as the backend
  • Building microservices that require a REST API layer for PostgreSQL without writing custom code
  • Creating an internal tool or admin panel that needs to interact with a PostgreSQL database via REST
Alternatives:
  • PostgREST – Similar auto-generating REST API for PostgreSQL, but prest offers a more feature-rich CLI and additional real-time capabilities.
  • Hasura – Hasura provides GraphQL APIs for PostgreSQL, while prest focuses on REST and is more lightweight.
