Declarative

Develop faster with BlueBucket's DSL

Using the BlueBucket Declarative Language (BDL), you can build your backend faster than ever before.

Concise and declarative: With a concise, declarative syntax, you can define your data models, queries, business logic, APIs, workflows and more with ease.
Easy to understand and maintain: Thanks to its clarity and simplicity, your code is easier to understand and maintain.
Powerful and flexible: Complex value expressions and data transformations allow you to perform even the most complex tasks in minimal code.

Model-driven

The data layer on top of your database

Define your data models in a declarative way, and let BlueBucket take care of the rest.

Your data model as code: Manage your data models as code and keep a semantic layer on top of your database.
Easily import your database schema: BlueBucket can automatically generate your data model from existing database schemas.
Customize fields and relationships: Add custom fields, relationships, permissions and more to your models to support efficient querying and mutations.

Querying

Powerful data queries and mutations

Work with data the way it should be. Efficiently query and mutate your data, retrieve related entities, and use powerful querying features.

Data queries and mutations: Efficiently query and mutate data based on your data model.
Querying features: Out-of-the-box support for pagination, filtering, sorting, search, aliases, etc. You can also write raw SQL queries, but you won't need to.
Support for complex queries: Restructure your query response, use aggregated fields, and easily include multiple nested objects and arrays.

1query:
2  model: post
3  joins:
4    - path: author
5    - path: blog_categories.category
6      name: categories

Business logic

Build your business logic, step by step

Use control and action steps to build your business logic. Query and transform data, connect to external services, and more.

Flow control: Loops, conditions, and other control steps allow you to manage the flow of data.
Action steps: Query, HttpRequest, DataTransformation and other action steps make it easy to interact with data sources and external services.
Templates: Reuse and share your business logic and benefit from a growing library of templates.
Easy testing: Test your business logic and review the input and output of each step before deploying it to production.

Connected

Integrate with ease

Use request steps as part of your APIs and workflows to connect to external APIs and services.

Benefit from a fast-growing library of integration templates to get started in seconds.

Secure

Authentication and authorization made simple

Security is at the core of BlueBucket. Within minutes, you can secure your endpoints and implement role-based access control. Easily handle advanced use cases such as multi-tenant APIs via model and query permissions.

JWT support: Supports your existing JWT-based access control and allows you to extract roles, users, and related data (such as the company a user belongs to).
Role-based access control: Easily restrict access to APIs and individual endpoints by role.
Row and column access: Depending on a user's role, access to rows and sensitive fields is automatically controlled by adding role-based query filters, field access, and default values.

1permissions:
2  ADMIN:
3    filter:
4      field: post.blog.company_id
5      comparator: eq
6      value: ${auth_vars.org_id}
7  USER:
8    filter:
9      and:
10        - field: post.blog.company_id
11          comparator: eq
12          value: ${auth_vars.org_id}
13        - field: author_id
14          comparator: eq
15          value: ${auth_vars.user_id}
