How to develop your APIs without a backend
summary
A lightweight JavaScript library ~100 KB that creates a multi-tenant REST API for CRUD against document databases (Mongo Atlas), deployable to serverless runtimes and runs on Vercel Edge/AWS Lambda/Cloud Functions. It provides custom endpoints, server-side validation using validator.js, event hooks like beforeSave, and one‑time or bulk mutations applied per database or across all tenants. It targets frontend‑driven projects with no DevOps, and lacks asset handling and relational schema support.
