Another one!? How hard is it to write a few lines of Sinatra, Express, Flask ... code, then deploy with Heroku? This is getting ridicilous. Are programmers becoming so dumb they can't create an API on their own?
- gsibble 14y agoEnterprise applications are usually so deep and far away from the database that building an API by hand, per se, would be nearly impossible. This product is targeted at those companies, not small, agile ones.
- emidln 14y agoBuilding an API by hand is only impossible if literally no one in the organization understands their data. If that is the case, an API is the least of their concerns.
- hoopism 14y agoAs someone who works on a deep and far away application I would have a hard to seeing how connecting to our datasource (which has been abstracted to hell by ORM layers) would be a better option for developing a rest interface than using existing infrastructure. That being said, I like the path they are taking and think it's a valid approach... just not sure how many people actually need it.
