Check out this simple, easy API replacement: just set up Docker, APISIX, Grafana, Prometheus, etc.

Does anyone else miss the old days of just editing your site's code and adding new columns to your MYSQL database while people were surfing your website? That was fun.

Tip: Another way to turn your DB into an API is to just connect to it and then write SQL queries.

Or use https://github.com/mevdschee/php-crud-api and skip writing queries (for basic CRUD).

> Howto: Upload "api.php" to your webserver, configure it to connect to your database, have an instant full-featured REST API.
