## What it is
A curated list of software that automatically turns databases into REST, GraphQL, or other APIs, including databases with built-in HTTP APIs. It is a reference catalog rather than a usable tool itself.

## Use cases
- find a tool to expose my postgres database as a rest api
- compare automatic api generators for graphql
- discover databases with built-in http apis
- pick a backend-less api layer over sqlite
- research open-source instant api tools before building one

## When to choose
- you are evaluating tools to auto-generate an API over an existing database
- you want a survey of options across languages, licenses, and database support

## When to avoid
- you need an actual API gateway or runtime to deploy
- you want maintained software rather than a list of links

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: api-framework, database, graphql, developer-tools
- domain: apis, databases, web-development, backend, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, rest-api, automatic-api, curated-list, database-to-api
