xgenecloud commented on Show HN: Amplication – Instantly Generate Node.js Apps with GraphQL and REST API   github.com/amplication/am... · Posted by u/yuvalhazaz

Hello, co-founder here: as a backend developer I've had to develop web APIs for various projects over the years. Before I could spend any time on designing and testing my business logic, I had to invest hours into making sure my boilerplate code was valid and provisioning infrastructure, not to mention setting up my cloud environment.

We built Amplication so that developers like us could focus on coding the parts that really matter, rather than get distracted by undifferentiated heavy lifting. Amplication is an open-source tool that lets you design your data schema and in return it generates for you a human-readable and editable TypeScript Node.js codebase. This server codebase includes a GraphQL API, REST API, authorization, authentication, admin UI, users management, logging utility, error handler, and much more right out of the box.

we generate your server code dynamically based on changes in your schema. You can download the generated code or continuously push it to a GitHub repository to continue off and edit it further on your own.

For your convenience, we use a web UI to manage this whole operation and it is available for the community as a managed service on https://app.amplication.com, or you can run your own Amplication server. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and get your feedback.

@yuval : Congrats on launch. Happy to come across it. We need more people tackling this problem. UI looks cool :)

At XgeneCloud[1], we are after the same problem.

XgeneCloud provides a desktop app that can connect to any new/existing databases to instantly generate REST & GraphQL APIs.

(Supports MySQL, Postgres, SQL server & SQLite)

Happy to share notes on discord.

Most (or all?) of those are GraphQL rather than REST.

XgeneCloud[1] supports REST as well.

Is open source Parse still going?

XgeneCloud:

An open source alternative of Parse for SQL databases : https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud

* Instantly generates REST APIs & GraphQL APIs on 'ANY' MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite & MariaDB databases.

* Has a built in GUI to design SQL schema which auto-generates reversible schema migrations.

* And lastly, the entire backend generated can be even deployed as a Lambda Function or GCP Cloud Function or Azure Function App!

Demos are below : Happy to answer any questions

Canonic Team, Congrats shipping this. UI appears slick & menus snappy.

Faced an issue creating column in a new model[1] - Can't click on any of the button in image [1] (I'm on Mac & Firefox if that helps)

We are in similar space & open source : we automatically generate REST & GraphQL APIs automatically on any Microsoft SQL Server, Postgres & MySQL databases. Do give us a try. https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud

Kudos, much needed. Neat documentation. Would love to try with JS APIs.

Thanks!

The reason for Cassandra is the normal reasons someone would turn to Cassandra, fault tolerance, scalability, high write throughput. It's a powerful database we really like but can get a bad rap at times so with Stargate we wanted to make it easier for developers to get their data in and out with their preferred interface. Although we have left it open to extension so if Cassandra isn't your cup of tea we welcome PRs to add new persistence backends.

Example docker-compose and helm charts are definitely in the works! Stay tuned and we should have those out soon.

Oh that looks cool! I'm digging the UI. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try that out later and maybe we can learn some things from each other.

Cool, feel free to reach out. Happy to 've a chat.

Cool, congrats on this release.

Any advantages of having Cassandra as underlying db ? An example docker-compose would help to try it out quickly.

We[1] are in similar space but mostly for SQL databases. With automatic APIs we do provide GUI for schema management.
