We've recently launched a new site for beginner-level videos about the DreamFactory platform, and yesterday published our second video in the series. It's titled "Merging Multiple Database API Calls with DreamFactory Data Mesh". In this video you'll learn how to use data mesh to merge data residing in IBM DB2 and MySQL databases and present the data within a single API response.
