Welcome to the DreamFactory Docs!
This site is the central document repository for all things DreamFactory! The documentation on this site is geared towards developers, engineers, and software architects. For additional information we recommend that you visit the DreamFactory main site website, read the DreamFactory Blog, and/or ask questions on the Community Forum.
DreamFactory software is available in two distinct products:
- A standalone open source product called "DreamFactory" (or a "DreamFactory instance")
- A commercial management product called "DreamFactory Enterprise" used to provision, manage, and report on multiple DreamFactory instances across your development life-cycle (development, test, production)
DreamFactory
