## Notes

Fusio is a self-hosted API management platform and API gateway written in PHP. It can expose SQL or NoSQL databases as REST APIs, route traffic to internal services, and run custom action logic. It runs on MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite, is served through a web server with only its public folder exposed, and is installed with Docker, Composer or a zip download. Its backend app is served from an apps path under the installation. The project is maintained by Christoph Kappestein.

## Worth knowing

The project's own comparison pages name Kong, Supabase and Appwrite as alternatives to Fusio. The homepage also lists a developer portal, SDK generation and monetization features, which the project describes as part of the same product.
