Daptin is a self-hosted Go application server that turns declarative schema definitions into permission-aware JSON:API and GraphQL CRUD backends. It bundles identity, row-level authorization, file storage, site hosting, mail, workflows, and integrations around a single data model.

Use cases

• spin up a CRUD REST API from a schema file without writing backend code
• self-host a headless CMS with JSON:API or GraphQL endpoints
• add user signup, login, OAuth, and row-level permissions to an app backend
• host static sites and expose cloud storage like S3 or Google Drive over HTTP
• build workflow APIs that call third-party services from an OpenAPI spec
• run a self-hosted mail server with SMTP and IMAP accounts
• prototype a full backend with database, auth, and file uploads in minutes

When to choose

• you need a complete backend (APIs, auth, storage, mail) without building one from scratch
• you want declarative, schema-driven CRUD APIs with fine-grained permissions
• you prefer a single self-hosted Go binary or Docker container
• you need to expose files, static sites, and integrations alongside your data APIs

When to avoid

• you need a highly custom backend with bespoke business logic that declarative schemas cannot express
• you only need a lightweight API layer in front of an existing service
• your stack requires a managed BaaS with vendor support
• LGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your project
