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.

How Apito generates GraphQL

  • Auto schema generation from your database.
  • Query, mutation, and subscription support.
  • Works with SQL and NoSQL.

Example

Define your data model; Apito exposes it as GraphQL. Example flow:

# Database table: posts (id, title, body)
# Generated GraphQL types and queries

query {
  posts(limit: 10) {
    id
    title
    body
  }
}

Why Apito vs writing GraphQL manually

  • No resolver boilerplate.
  • Built-in auth and RBAC.
  • Extend with functions when you need custom logic.

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 need to write GraphQL resolvers?
No. Apito generates types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions from your database schema. You can add custom logic with functions when needed.
Does it work with my existing database?
Yes. Apito connects to MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, and others. Your schema stays the source of truth; we expose it as GraphQL (and REST).
Can I use both GraphQL and REST?
Yes. Apito exposes both from the same data model so you can use whichever fits your client or team.
