Database Virtualization API Starter

The Database Virtualization API Starter template demonstrates how effortlessly developers can create APIs in RAW that integrate data from multiple databases into a single, unified API. This template is designed for both individual developers and teams who want a hands-on introduction to RAW's data virtualization capabilities, making it a simple starting point for building APIs that combine data from various sources. It is ideal for:

• Developers building APIs that span multiple backend systems.
• Developers who want to use SQL queries for data integration across multiple databases.
• Teams needing to build APIs quickly that serve data from multiple sources.

This starter includes prebuilt endpoints that demonstrate RAW’s data virtualization features. It uses mock data to simulate real databases, which can be easily replaced with live connections. It includes:

• Prebuilt Queries: Includes examples for retrieving data, aggregating results, and combining filters.
• Query parameters: Query and filter data based on parameters.‍
• Data joins: Seamlessly query and join data from multiple sources in a single API.
