RESTHeart is a Java open source Low code micro-services Open Platform.

RESTHeart is dual licensed under the AGPL and a business friendly commercial license.^[3]

As a framework for building HTTP micro-services is comparable to others, like Undertow (that is actually internally used by RESTHeart), Micronaut and Quarkus.

Its development framework allows implementing Services for request handling and Interceptors to snoop and modify requests and responses at different stages of the request lifecycle. It supports different programming languages, including Java, Kotlin, JavaScript and TypeScript leveraging the polyglot nature of the GraalVM virtual machine.

As a point of distinction between RESTHeart and other popular frameworks, it ships with application-level common features that makes it a Low Code Platform:

• A Data API for MongoDB (or any compatible database e.g. Percona Server for MongoDB, AWS DocumentDB and Azure Cosmos DB) that exposes the database resources through a comprehensive set of REST, GraphQL and WebSocket APIs.
• A Declarative Security implementation to manage Authorization and Authentication via configuration and Access-control list. Leveraging the same plugins mechanism for implementing Services and Interceptors, the security layer can be also adapted and customized.
