I work at a company where product, data, and ops teams constantly need “quick APIs” to access or manipulate data.
Every week someone would ask:
“Hey, can you create an endpoint that fetches X from our DB?”
It wasn’t complicated — but it took time to:
• Create a new route
• Write DB access logic
• Validate inputs
• Test it in Postman
• Deploy it
And honestly, it distracted me from deeper work.
So I started building Dyan — a visual REST API builder that anyone on my team can use (without writing code), but still keeps everything local, version-controlled, and self-hosted.

We now run Dyan internally and expose simple endpoints to different teams safely. It’s made internal tooling way more efficient.
