Bitnami DreamFactory

DreamFactory is an API management gateway. It’s capable of generating powerful, documented APIs for almost twenty databases including Microsoft SQL Server, in addition to file storage, caching, e-mail, 3rd party APIs and SOAP services.

The scripting interface supports four scripting languages. 3rd party libraries are also supported, and business logic integration allows for data validation, masking and transformation.

API keys and role-based access controls restrict endpoint and method access. DreamFactory supports many user authentication options, including AD, OpenID Connect and Okta.

Request limiting ensures system resources aren’t abused, reducing the possibility of data theft. Logging is supported through Elastic Stack. Other compliance controls include restricted admins and API lifecycle monitoring.
