Issue 01 · Winter 2026

An API platform,
assembled from your database.

Connect a PostgreSQL database. Mustak introspects your schema and hands back a production-ready REST and GraphQL API — complete with OpenAPI docs, a playground, versioning, keys, rate limits, analytics, and monitoring. No scaffolding to write. No infrastructure to babysit.

In this issue

Twenty modules. One connection string.

Mustak isn't an API generator bolted onto a database. It's an ecosystem — auth, orgs, projects, keys, docs, rate limiting, webhooks, analytics, monitoring, billing — designed to remove the year-one backend work that every team rebuilds.

01

REST & GraphQL, side by side

One schema, two surfaces. Use whichever your client prefers — the same policies, the same keys, the same limits.

02

OpenAPI, always current

Every version publishes a live OpenAPI spec. Playground, SDKs, and Postman collections stay in sync.

03

Versioning without pain

Ship v2 alongside v1. Existing keys keep working. Deprecate on your schedule, not your customers'.

04

Keys and rate limits

Scoped, hashed keys. Sliding-window limits per key. Honest 429s with retry hints in the response headers.

05

Analytics you'll actually open

Requests, errors, and latencies per endpoint, per key, per version. Filter, group, export.

06

Webhooks with receipts

Signed HMAC payloads. Automatic retries. A delivery log so you can prove you sent it.

Dispatch 02

Five minutes from connection to curl.

Paste a Postgres URL. Approve the tables. Copy your key. That's it — the same request works from the browser, a Lambda, a mobile app, or a curl in your terminal.

$ curl https://api.mustak.dev/v1/acme/orders \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_a83f…"

{
  "data": [
    { "id": "ord_9k2", "total": 24000, "status": "paid" },
    { "id": "ord_9k3", "total": 18500, "status": "paid" }
  ],
  "pagination": { "next": "?cursor=ord_9k3" }
}

Your database is already an API. We help it act like one.
