Data Theorem

Data Theorem offers a suite of API discovery and inspection tools. The vendor’s API Secure solution features a continuous discovery capability that lets users identify what Data Theorem refers to as “shadow APIs”, which are unmanaged APIs built or used by an organization. It identifies shadow APIs by examining sources like mobile apps, web apps, public internet sources, cloud PaaS environments, and information from API gateways. In addition to API gateways, API specifications are also supported.

Prisma offers a collection of tools for speeding up the process of building APIs by simplifying database workflows. Designed for developing REST, GraphQL and gRPC APIs, the product also includes a type-safe database client, a modeling language for data modeling and schema migrations called Prisma Schema Language, as well as a database GUI. Prisma currently supports databases that include MySQL, PostgresQL and Amazon RDS with more planned in the future.
