We don't generate your APIs. They already exist.
How long does it take to build CRUD APIs for 100 tables? 1,000? 100,000? With Minimal - ZERO. For all of them. No code generated. No build step. Nothing deployed. Just connect your database and 80% of your backend is already live.
One binary. Infinite possibilities.
No scattered layers. No ORM complexity. No framework dependencies. Just a single, stateless binary that deploys anywhere.
Frontend unblocked day one
Full CRUD APIs auto-created from your database schema. No backend wait. Start building features immediately while APIs evolve with your data model.
Stateless scaling
Pure stateless execution means horizontal scaling without coordination. Run 1 instance or 1000—no session management, no complexity, just linear scale.
Sub-millisecond performance
< 500µs per API call. Lean runtime with no framework overhead translates to lower infrastructure costs and blazing-fast response times.
Let AI build your APIs
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or your preferred AI provider. Describe your API requirements in plain English, and watch as intelligent agents create endpoints, and Definitions along with Starlark/Expr code, all integrated with your existing infrastructure. From idea to production API in minutes.
Switch databases with one config change
True database abstraction means no vendor lock-in. Migrate from MySQL to Postgres, or experiment with ClickHouse—all without touching your application code. Your APIs remain identical. Your team stays productive.
- MySQL / MariaDB
- PostgreSQL
- ClickHouse
- More databases coming soon
Enterprise security meets simplicity
Minimal deploys alongside your existing infrastructure, not in between. Your data never leaves your servers. Works with your current auth system. Complete visibility with built-in traces and audit logs.
- Zero vendor lock-in
- Works with existing auth (OAuth, JWT, API keys)
- Role-based access control per API
- Built-in distributed tracing
- Comprehensive audit logging
Simple outside. Powerful inside.
Minimal's simplicity hides sophisticated engineering designed for scale, speed, and reliability.
Hot reload for new APIs
Deploy new endpoints without restarting. Add database tables and APIs appear instantly. Zero downtime deployments.
Security hardened binary
One binary update patches everything. No framework dependencies. Minimal attack surface vs. complex dependency trees.
Deploy anywhere
AWS, Azure, GCP, bare metal, or your laptop. Kubernetes, Docker, or direct deployment. Works everywhere.
Stop writing backend code.
