The upcoming RESTHeart 3.0 release is going to bring a new, exiting feature: plain JSON representation of resources besides the usual HAL format. This dramatically simplifies handling with the API and answers some feedbacks we got from the community; as usual, you asked, we listened!

We are asked once in a while how RESTHeart can be embedded in a traditional JEE Application Server. However RESTHeart is designed to operate in microservice architectures as a stand alone process. It does one thing and it does it well.

RESTHeart’s GitHub repo so far has been organized mimicking the Gitflow process, but we think this is not anymore a best practice for products.

We are proud to announce the release of RESTHeart v 1.0.0. This is a huge update, with focus on stability, documentation and operation.

This release is production ready.

RESTHeart - the leading Web API for MongoDB.

In the last few days we have spent a considerable amount of time measuring RESTHeart’s performances. We have gathered interesting information, the most relevant is that RESTHeart delivers excellent performances and it often overcomes the results that can be achieved accessing MongoDB directly.

RESTHeart is the Open Source data REST API server for MongoDB. Despite this definition, not only it exposes the data, but also serves static resources and custom application logic. Everything goes through its simple yaml configuration file: this is what we call piping and it is easy and effective, so that you don’t have to deal with complex deployments anymore. And more exciting features are on the way…

Today we are very happy to announce that RESTHeart has been included as a MongoDB contribution: RESTHeart is now enlisted in the HTTP Interface page on the official MongoDB documentation site.
