Interesting! How would you compare this to something like Strapi (strapi.io)? I've been using them at some point last year and I remember the product was pretty good.
With XgeneCloud, you can point to 'ANY' existing or pre-built database schemas and your APIs are ready in seconds. So XgeneCloud introspects the underlying database schema automatically and then generates models, controllers, relational controllers, auth & ACL!
And to stretch the fun factor a bit - you can also point multiple databases as input - we will still manage to generate APIs for all databases together :) - happens within seconds.
Strapi ships an UI to create-edit models, but then I am guessing it is not a complete Database Client. They are targeting headless CMS space - so their needs might be much geared to provide richer datatypes in content management rather than to provide a fully featured database client. Also, I am not sure on how they manage SQL schema migrations (if somebody can help answer that). With XgeneCloud, your schema migrations are automatically generated as and when you make schema changes - this makes the process of backend database design a really seamless and enjoyable experience. What this means is - our desktop tool can be used by any database admins to manage schema migrations easily.
And finally, XgeneCloud's APIs are also Hybrid Serverless functions : which means without changing a single line of code - generated APIs can be deployed as Serverless functions across any Cloud Platform (AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Function App, Alibaba Function Compute and Vercel Now)!
Two major-major benefits from this :
1. Your APIs also work as Serverless Functions.
2. Then those Serverless Functions are not cloud specific.
So the same code will work on any Serverless Cloud Infrastructure. Your code is not locked in with a Cloud provider.
Plus, we have a built in API client - where you can debug and perform test generated APIs (much like postman)
So with XgeneCloud, you can cover all aspects of API lifecycle management (Database, REST API Server, GraphQL API Server, API Client and Serverless)
