  • Providing API access via SDKs, in addition to drivers, can make data more accessible to a wider range of developers, particularly in development phases. When prototyping, it’s helpful to be able to look up a Postman collection, use cURL or httpie, or throw JSON documents at a database without up front schema definition. In production, having your database instance available via automatically created API endpoints like websocket, gRPC or GraphQL can add significant value.
