What SlashDB Does
SlashDB automatically constructs a REST API from your existing databases - no code generation, no manual endpoint configuration. Once connected, your database content becomes instantly accessible to authorized users and applications in JSON, CSV, XML, and HTML formats. SlashDB uses a unique URL-based navigation model that maps directly to your database schema, making API endpoints intuitive and self-documenting.
Key Capabilities
- Automatic REST API generation - Connect your database and get full read/write API endpoints immediately
- Multi-format output - Serve data as JSON, CSV, XML, or HTML from the same endpoint
- SQL Pass-thru - Execute custom queries via API for advanced use cases
- Data Discovery - Browse and explore database schemas through a navigable web interface
- Amazon RDS integration - Works seamlessly with Amazon RDS instances in your VPC
Who Benefits
- Web and mobile developers - Eliminate weeks of backend API coding; use SlashDB as a gateway to relational databases
- Data scientists and analysts - Access unobstructed datasets directly via API using data discovery and SQL Pass-thru
- Big Data architects - Synchronize relational data into NoSQL databases like MongoDB or MapReduce engines like Apache Hadoop
- Webmasters - Instantly add API capabilities to traditional LAMP stack websites
Use Cases
- Backend development - Save up to 90% of time building web APIs for applications
- Legacy modernization - Expose legacy databases as microservices for cloud migration
- Data products - Shorten time to market and customer onboarding for commercial data offerings
- Data integration and reporting - Connect databases to BI tools, dashboards, and third-party systems
Security and Access Control
SlashDB provides role-based access control to restrict data access at the table and column level. All API traffic supports TLS encryption in transit. Authentication options allow you to control which users and applications can read or write data.
Requirements and Supported Databases
SlashDB works with popular relational databases including those available on Amazon RDS. Deploy on an EC2 instance within your VPC and configure security group rules to allow connectivity between SlashDB and your database instances.
Getting Started
A free trial is available so you can evaluate SlashDB with your own databases before committing. Launch the AMI, connect to your Amazon RDS or other database instance, and start making API calls within minutes. Visit the documentation at docs.slashdb.com for a step-by-step quickstart guide.

Highlights
- SlashDB automatically generates a full REST API from your database schema with zero code. Unlike manual API development, there is no endpoint configuration or code generation step required. Connect your Amazon RDS or other relational database and get instant read/write API access in JSON, CSV, XML, and HTML formats. The unique URL-based navigation model maps directly to your schema, making endpoints intuitive and self-documenting for developers and analysts alike.
- Built-in data discovery and SQL Pass-thru features let data scientists, analysts, and developers explore and query databases directly through the API without DBA assistance. Role-based access control restricts data visibility at the table and column level, so you can safely expose databases to multiple user groups. TLS encryption protects data in transit between applications and your database.
- Deploy on AWS alongside Amazon RDS to modernize legacy systems as cloud-native microservices, build commercial data products with faster customer onboarding, or power web and mobile application backends. A free trial is available so you can connect your own databases and evaluate SlashDB before committing. Start making API calls within minutes of launching the AMI.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
