FAQs

DreamFactory Platform & Installer FAQs

DreamFactory Platform & Installer FAQs

API management software helps you manage your custom APIs,  but you have to build REST APIs yourself. DreamFactory, on the other hand, is a transactional run-time server for client applications that

1) automatically generates REST APIs for you,
2) enables you to customize API behavior with server-side scripts
3) manages all the backend security for those APIs
4) returns JSON / XML from REST API calls at runtime.

Why do I need to book a call with an engineer to try the product?

Since DreamFactory is self-hosted software, we require a call with an engineer to discuss licensing, installation, and pricing. This will ensure you have all the information needed to be successful.

If you are not ready for a call, we recommend you try our hosted trial. It's a limited version of the product, but it will give you a taste of how our automatic API generation, role-based access, and documentation works

Where can I get more information about how to install DreamFactory?

Start in our documentation, but if you don't see your answer, please ask a question in the intercom chat bubble or schedule a call with our support team.

Can you tell me how DreamFactory scales?

Yes, we have a detailed White Paper breaking down how Dreamfactory scales with performance benchmarks. Here is another White Paper specific to scaling microservices.

Can I customize the APIs?

Yes! DreamFactory offers a robust scripting engine with support for PHP, Python, and NodeJS to fully customize your APIs.
