Simple to use: According to the vendor, restdb.io aims to be an easy-to-use online NoSQL database backend for web and serverless "low code" applications. Users can quickly model their information, and the data management application, schema, and REST API are instantly available. The vendor claims that the powerful API Automation technology enables automatic generation of REST APIs and low code JavaScript hooks.

Free plan for teams: According to the vendor, restdb.io offers a free plan for teams, allowing up to 3 users to use the development database plan free of charge. This can be beneficial for small teams or startups looking to get started without incurring costs.

User friendly: The backend of restdb.io provides a user-friendly interface for collaborating and working with data. Users can easily search through the entire database using the centralized search feature and navigate database relationships effortlessly, according to the vendor.

More than a database: In addition to serving as a NoSQL database, restdb.io can also serve web pages. Users can use HTML, Javascript, jQuery, Angular, ReactJS, or their preferred framework to create web pages with server-side data-binding. The vendor states that users can add their own secure domains for the web pages and REST API.

Built for the modern Web: According to the vendor, restdb.io is a NoSQL database cloud service that provides easy system integration and future compatibility. Data is accessed as JSON objects via HTTPS, offering flexibility and simplicity. The schema with collections, fields, and relations can be created directly in the web browser, and restdb.io dynamically creates a REST API and a Javascript API to reflect the schema.

Data Types and Relations: restdb.io supports common data types such as text, numbers, boolean, and date. It also has built-in support for media and documents, potentially saving development time. The vendor claims that adding relations between collections is simple, supporting one-to-one, one-to-many, and parent/child relationships.

Productivity and Collaboration: According to the vendor, restdb.io enables users to access data and collaborate from any device. The Data Manager features a dynamic menu, global search, data filtering, Excel-import and export, record locking and versioning, and an activity log. Role-based Access Control allows users to specify who can read, create, update, or delete records in each collection.

Serve any content securely on your web domain: The vendor claims that restdb.io's server-side Pages can serve any content type (HTML, JSON, CSS, RSS, text, etc.) through a URL endpoint directly from the database. Pages are said to be ideal for database-driven and dynamic websites, reports, dashboards, information boards, feeds, and more. Users can code Page templates using server-side Handlebars tags to query the database and display dynamic parts.

Random Data Generator: According to the vendor, the Random Data Generator feature allows users to quickly populate thousands of new data records for testing or visualization purposes. It offers various groups of generators for address, text, person data, internet, numbers, dates, payment, colors, and media archive.

Import and Export: restdb.io supports importing data from Excel, CSV, and JSON formats, making it potentially easy to create collections by importing data from files. It also supports exporting data to CSV and JSON formats, allowing for data backup or sharing, according to the vendor.
