Self-hosted platform providing governed API access to any data source for enterprise apps and local LLMs
Free 30 minutes Demo
DreamFactory is a secure, self-hosted AI data gateway and enterprise data access platform that provides governed API access to any data source, connecting enterprise applications and on-prem or local LLMs with role-based access and identity passthrough.
DreamFactory standardizes how AI and applications access your data while your credentials never leave DreamFactory.
Secure REST API and MCP access to enterprise data in any data source
Consistent REST APIs over databases, file stores, SaaS, and legacy systems
Maps to your existing security infrastructure
On-prem, private cloud, edge, and hybrid deployment options
Automatic API creation and testing so your team ships more, faster
DreamFactory lets you ship AI projects faster while keeping governed, token-controlled access to enterprise data via MCP and REST. Without a dedicated AI data gateway, teams either give LLMs risky direct SQL access or spend months wiring brittle, custom connectors that bypass existing RBAC and audit trails. DreamFactory closes the AI data access gap by forcing all AI workloads through a governed data API platform that reuses your current identity and security controls.
Central point where AI agents and LLMs access data via REST, not raw database connections
Existing IAM, roles, and entitlements are enforced instead of sidestepped by prototypes
MCP tools backed by DreamFactory APIs so agents can read and write safely under policy
Reuse the same standardized data APIs across multiple AI experiments and use cases
DreamFactory lets you modernize experiences and analytics by wrapping legacy databases, files, SOAP services, and IoT protocols with consistent, secure APIs. Today, modernization projects stall because DB2, mainframe-adjacent systems, SOAP, and file-based interfaces are hard to expose safely to modern apps and AI. DreamFactory creates standardized REST APIs over legacy systems, removing dependency on scarce legacy skillsets and reducing risk to core systems.
Turn legacy and niche systems into first-class, governed REST endpoints
Modernize UIs and AI layers without destabilizing back-end platforms
Give new services, apps, and AI agents the same API patterns regardless of source
Eliminate fragile point-to-point connectors to aging systems
DreamFactory increases developer throughput by offloading data access, auth, and traffic management to a dedicated, self-hosted AI data gateway with API gateway capabilities. Without this layer, teams burn cycles hand-coding the same access patterns, auth flows, and governance logic for every new application or AI initiative. Centralization lets your existing team deliver more projects without growing headcount.
Auto-generate CRUD and custom endpoints from schemas and services
Standard auth, RBAC, and validation baked into every API
One set of data APIs reused across multiple applications and AI workloads
Developers focus on business logic and UX instead of plumbing
DreamFactory strengthens your governance posture by centralizing access control, auditing, and threat protection at the data API edge. Today, security logic is scattered across apps, scripts, and ad-hoc gateways, making it hard for CISOs and compliance teams to see who accessed what and whether policies were applied. DreamFactory becomes the governed front door to your data, even when AI agents are in the loop.
One place to define and enforce access rules for data APIs
Role, attribute, field, and low-level protections for sensitive data
End-to-end visibility into calls from both applications and AI workloads
Controls for SQL injection, request validation, and web applied before traffic hits databases
DreamFactory delivers stable production behavior using gateway-style functionality — routing, limits, caching, and observability. AI workloads and new applications can create unpredictable traffic patterns that stress back-end systems when they call databases and services directly. With DreamFactory in front of your data sources, you can shape, monitor, and protect traffic without changing each application.
Rate limiting, throttling, and quotas to protect back-ends from spikes
Reverse proxying, health checks, and failover for resilient data access
Request/response transformations and validation without touching back-end code
Central analytics on usage, latency, and errors across all data APIs
DreamFactory unifies AI and application access by exposing one set of governed REST endpoints that both can call. Without this, organizations often stand up separate stacks for AI and apps, doubling integration and governance work while increasing inconsistency. AI agents and traditional applications share the same secure, documented data surface.
Single, governed API layer serving UIs, services, and AI workloads
Same rules, audit, and performance characteristics across all consumers
Update data contracts once and roll out safely to every client
Avoid owning parallel integration stacks for AI and non-AI use cases
DreamFactory is your AI data gateway. A self-hosted, governed data API layer that sits between AI workloads, applications, and your enterprise data. It combines data governance, a standardized API layer, gateway-grade functionality, flexible deployment, and developer productivity into a single platform.
Enterprise-grade governance, compliance, and security at the data API edge
For all your data, across databases, file stores, and legacy systems
Stable and reliable capabilities for routing, traffic management, and observability
Works stand-alone or with your current infrastructure
Do more with the AI development team you have by auto-generating secure, production-ready data APIs
AI agents that query and update systems via MCP, “chat with your data” agents, local AI models, RAG pipelines, and more
While DreamFactory is perfect for many industries, regulated industries such as Healthcare, Financial Services, Government, and Manufacturing find particular value.
Securely connect EHR, ERP, and clinical systems with governed APIs that protect PHI and support AI
Modernize banking and investment platforms with secure, compliant APIs for real-time financial data access
Expose public and internal data through secure, self-hosted APIs that modernize services and protect sensitive information
Modernize factory systems with governed APIs for ERP, MES, and IIoT data powering analytics and AI
There are many valuable use cases for Dreamfactory, here are a few where customers start..
Let AI query your data through governed REST APIs instead of talking directly to databases
Expose DreamFactory APIs as MCP tools so AI agents can safely query and update enterprise systems
Wrap legacy databases, SOAP, files, and IoT protocols with modern, secure REST APIs
Centralize access control, logging, and threat protection at the data API edge for apps and AI
