DreamFactory is a secure, self-hosted enterprise data access platform that provides governed API access to any data source. It enables seamless connectivity between enterprise applications and on-premise LLMs, with built-in role-based access control and identity passthrough for enhanced security and compliance.
DreamFactory is a comprehensive API management platform that automates the generation of RESTful APIs for any database, external web service, or file storage system. This AWS Marketplace Edition provides a pre-configured, secure environment designed to get your API infrastructure up and running in minutes.
Key Features:
Instant API Generation: Automatically create comprehensive REST APIs for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, and more.
Unified Security: Implement enterprise-grade authentication (JWT, OAuth) and granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) across all services from a single dashboard.
Automated Documentation: Every API includes live, interactive Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation right out of the box.
API Orchestration: Combine multiple services into single requests and use server-side scripting (Node.js, PHP, Python) to transform data on the fly.
Optimized for AWS: Fully integrated with Amazon RDS for data persistence and designed for high performance on EC2.
Whether you are modernizing legacy systems, building new mobile applications, or integrating disparate data sources, DreamFactory reduces development time from weeks to hours by handling the heavy lifting of API creation and security.
Highlights
Instant REST API Generation Automatically generate fully documented, high-performance REST APIs for any SQL or NoSQL database in minutes. Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, and more, allowing you to turn legacy data into modern web services without writing a single line of backend code.
Enterprise-Grade Security & RBAC Built-in authentication (JWT, OAuth, LDAP) with granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Define precise permissions for every user, table, and endpoint to ensure your data is always protected by industry-standard security protocols.
Live Interactive Documentation Every API generated includes integrated Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation. Developers can instantly test endpoints, view data schemas, and debug in real-time directly from the DreamFactory dashboard, simplifying the developer experience and accelerating integration.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
This listing offers a single pricing dimension billed by the hour on a t3.large instance. You pay based on how many hours the software runs on that instance size. There are no separate tiers or quantity choices to configure here. The hourly rate applies for as long as your instance stays active, so your cost scales directly with usage time. This gives you an on-demand way to run the software without a fixed term commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources do I get on the t3.large hourly plan, and what capabilities are included?
You run the software on a t3.large instance, a general-purpose size with two virtual CPUs. This build includes database connectors, role-based access control, and API key management. Note that connectors for certain enterprise databases are not part of this configuration. You pay for each hour the instance runs.
Am I charged when the t3.large instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. When you stop or power off the instance, the hourly software fee stops. Note that stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage costs. The software licence meters running time only, so your cost tracks active hours.
Is this hourly plan a pay-as-you-go option or does it require an upfront commitment?
This is pay-as-you-go. You are billed for actual instance-hours with no fixed term to sign. Charges start when the instance runs and stop when you shut it down. This suits variable or short-term workloads where you want to avoid committing to a set period.

This delivery option provides a comprehensive, automated deployment of the DreamFactory platform on AWS using a CloudFormation template. It is designed for production environments that require security, scalability, and ease of management.
What this stack includes:
Secure Networking: A pre-configured VPC with public and private subnets, including a NAT Gateway for secure internet egress.
Managed Database: Automatically provisions an Amazon RDS for MySQL instance for reliable data persistence.
High Availability: Includes an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to handle incoming traffic and ensure application responsiveness.
Resilient Application Layer: Deploys DreamFactory 7.4.1 on an optimized EC2 instance with custom startup logic that ensures your default API keys and admin apps are ready for use immediately upon launch.
Zero-manual setup: Captures all technical configurations (Environment variables, Docker mounts, and database migrations) into a single automated process.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
