NpgsqlRest Architecture - PostgreSQL at the center with automatic REST API, TypeScript generation, authentication, caching, and more

Clean PostgreSQL Architecture - PostgreSQL First Architecture - PostgreSQL Driven Architecture

✓ Schema as contract — Tables, views, and functions become REST endpoints
✓ SQL comments as config — Routes, auth, caching declared where the logic lives
✓ Types flow outward — PostgreSQL types generate TypeScript clients automatically
✓ No middle tier — No ORM mismatch, no N+1 queries, no boilerplate

Declarative Annotations

Simple comment annotations turn PostgreSQL functions into fully-featured REST endpoints.
