## Overview

DreamFactory is an API generation solution best known for its ability to automatically generate secure and documented APIs for databases like Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MongoDB. It is built on top of the [Laravel framework](https://laravel.com/), and includes a convenient web-based administration client. So what can you do with DreamFactory?

* [Generate](http://guide.dreamfactory.com/docs/chapter03.html#generating-a-mysql-backed-api) powerful, reusable, documented APIs for SQL and NoSQL databases, files, email, push notifications and more in seconds.

* [Use the PHP, Python, and NodeJS scripting languages](https://guide.dreamfactory.com/docs/integrating-business-logic-into-your-apis/) to easily customize API behavior at any endpoint, for both API requests and API responses.

* [Secure every API endpoint](http://guide.dreamfactory.com/docs/chapter03.html#creating-a-role) with user management, SSO authentication, role-based access control, OAuth and Active Directory integration.
