Directus
Wraps an existing SQL database with an admin interface and REST, GraphQL and MCP APIs, without owning the schema.
Points at your database instead of replacing it.
What it is sold for
Putting an admin panel and API over a database you already have.
The address redirects to https://directus.com/, which is worth knowing before you follow it.
Same shelf
The rest of data, apis and backends, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Open-source retrieval infrastructure for question answering, with the pipeline exposed rather than hidden behind an endpoint.
- A relational database wearing a spreadsheet, with automations and an API on top.
- Hosted search built for typing latency, with ranking and synonyms as configuration rather than as code.
- An open-source visual database with automation, positioned against the closed spreadsheet-database products.
- An open-source backend server bundling auth, databases, storage and functions behind one API.
- Schema migration and change review for databases, with the same approval flow across twenty engines.
- Open-source memory for agents, combining graph, vector and relational retrieval so recall survives the session.
- A distributed SQL database for time series and real-time analytics at volumes a single node cannot hold.
