How it works

DB → Apito Engine → API → Client

Your database stays the source of truth. Apito reads your schema and exposes it as GraphQL and REST. Clients call the API; Apito translates and runs queries against your DB.

You connect your existing database. Apito does not own or migrate your data. It generates types, queries, and mutations from your schema so you get a working API without writing resolver or REST boilerplate.

The problem

Migration cost, vendor lock-in, and backend rewrites slow teams down.

  • Switching databases or backends means full rewrites.
  • Lock-in makes it hard to change stack later.
  • Backend-as-a-service often owns your schema.

Apito’s approach

  • Connect your existing DB — we don’t own your schema.
  • Works with MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, and more.
  • One API layer; change databases or infra when you need to.

Bring your own DB

MySQL → GraphQL API in 5 minutes

Connect MySQL, get a full GraphQL API with queries and mutations. No code.

MongoDB → REST API in minutes

Point Apito at MongoDB; REST endpoints and optional GraphQL are generated automatically.

Existing production DB → no migration

Use your current database as-is. Apito connects read-only or read-write; no schema takeover.

FAQ

Do I have to change my database to use Apito?
No. Apito connects to your existing database. We don’t own or migrate your schema; we expose it as GraphQL and REST APIs.
Which databases are supported?
Apito works with MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, and other SQL and NoSQL databases. You can switch or add databases without rewriting your API layer.
Is there vendor lock-in?
No. Apito is open source and database-agnostic. Your data stays in your database; you can move off Apito anytime.
