DreamFactory is a secure, self-hosted enterprise data access platform that provides governed API access to any data source, connecting enterprise applications and on-prem LLMs with role-based access and identity passthrough.

DreamFactory is built on top of the Laravel framework, and includes a convenient web-based administration client. So what can you do with DreamFactory?

• Generate powerful, reusable, documented APIs for SQL and NoSQL databases, files, email, push notifications and more in seconds.
• Use the PHP, Python, and NodeJS scripting languages to easily customize API behavior at any endpoint, for both API requests and API responses.
• Secure every API endpoint with user management, SSO authentication, role-based access control, OAuth and Active Directory integration.

• Install DreamFactory and all of the required dependencies in less than 5 minutes using our installers for CentOS/RHEL, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu.
• Docker provides a Docker compose image or you can build your own.
• NPX Installer: Our Node NPX installer can have you up and running in minutes, and even includes optional installation of our MCP server and a PostgreSQL test database filled with realistic data.
