The digital landscape is always moving forward, and so is the way we manage our applications and services. We are proud to introduce something exceptional for our users: A brand-new DreamFactory Amazon Machine Image (AMI) launch.
What is DreamFactory’s AMI?
For those unacquainted, Amazon Machine Image (AMI) serves as a template embedded with a software configuration. It may include an operating system, application server, and applications. An instance, which is essentially a virtual server running in the cloud, can be launched from an AMI. DreamFactory’s new AMI provision allows users to harness this capability, providing a seamless and flexible environment for their applications.
Key Features of DreamFactory’s AMI
Automatically Generate REST APIs
Without the fuss of manual configurations, DreamFactory’s AMI can generate a comprehensive REST API. This spans across SQL, NoSQL, file storage, email, push notifications, and even custom-built REST and SOAP services. The live API documentation ensures developers can navigate and implement the API effortlessly.
De-risk and Secure Data Connections
Security is paramount, and DreamFactory’s AMI has got it covered. With an integrated user management system, all API calls and server-side scripts have runtime security. Additionally, the built-in admin portal facilitates user access management through RBAC, OAuth, LDAP, and Active Directory integrations.
Server-Side Scripting
Beyond basic functionalities, applications often require server-side logic. DreamFactory’s AMI facilitates server-side scripting supported by the V8 Javascript Engine, Node.js, PHP, and Python. It empowers developers to create and modify server-side scripts linked to any API request and response event.
Benefits of DreamFactory’s New AMI Launch
Versatility and Scalability: DreamFactory’s AMI allows you to launch multiple instances from a single image, enabling scalability and flexibility to meet varying demands.
Cost-Effective: With the new AMI launch, users get a detailed breakdown of the software and infrastructure costs. This transparency ensures better budgeting and control over finances.
