Dozer
Dozer is an open-source data API platform that enables developers to build low-latency, real-time APIs directly from databases and other data sources without writing backend code. It automatically generates REST and gRPC APIs with built-in caching, authentication, and monitoring, simplifying the process of exposing data to applications. It supports various databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, and integrates with streaming sources such as Kafka.
Developers should use Dozer when they need to quickly create scalable, real-time APIs for data-driven applications, such as dashboards, mobile apps, or IoT systems, without the overhead of building custom backend services. It is particularly useful in scenarios requiring low-latency data access, real-time updates, and seamless integration with existing databases, reducing development time and infrastructure complexity.
