What is Clarabase?
Clarabase is a platform for instantly generating CRUD APIs of various protocols for any database.
Core Features
Schema Editor
A no-code tool for creating JSON Schema. Clarabase uses this to create and manage your resource in the database and for validation
Managed APIs
APIs are autogenerated for a number of protocols such as HTTP/JSON and GraphQL with support for websockets, mqtt, and gRPC in the works
Code Generators
You can generate server stubs and framework starter sdks for your resources
How it Works
Developers define a schema using Clarabase's UI schema editor. This basically produces a superset of a JSON Schema, and Clarabase uses this to define resources, set up APIs, and perform type validation. In other words, developers have a single interface (JSON Schema + API) for interacting with any database, and this interface is the same regardless of the underlying data store.
Clarabase automatically generates APIs for multiple communication protocols. This is done without the need for developers to write any additional code or configure deployments. Currently, the supported API protocols are:
REST (HTTP/JSON)
GraphQL
With future plans for supporting additional communication protocols:
MQTT
gRPC
Websockets (real-time)
HTTP/Avro
Fully Managed vs Self Hosted
The fully managed version of Clarabase completely abstracts away database details and provides a production-ready API. This option is available on any plan.
The self-hosted version of Clarabase allows you to bring your own database. In this version, you host you database in your own infrastructure, and Clarabase will manage the data operations to it. There's a bit more setup and configuration needed here, mostly to allow a minimal set of permissions to Clarabase for creating and managing data in your infrastructure. This option is only available for paid plans.
In both version of Clarabase, you to manage your resources with a single declarative interface (using JSON schema). With that schema,
