Scale Your Directus API Without the SaaS Tax
Turn any SQL database into a powerful REST and GraphQL API instantly. High-performance managed hosting for Directus with zero API limits, zero seat-based pricing, and full data ownership.
Why Host Your Directus API with Opsily?
Stop paying for every API call and every team member. We provide the infrastructure, you keep the control.
No API Rate Limits
SaaS providers often gate your growth with request limits and overage fees. On Opsily, your Directus API performance is limited only by your server resources: not your success. Handle thousands of concurrent requests without worrying about next month's bill. Scale your CPU and RAM as your traffic grows, staying in full control of your costs.
True Data Sovereignty
Keep your data exactly where you want it. Every Opsily instance runs on dedicated resources in certified German data centers. This ensures full GDPR compliance and protects your Directus API from the legal uncertainties of US-based cloud providers. You own the database, the credentials, and the infrastructure from day one.
Zero Per-Seat Pricing
Directus Cloud charges you more as your team grows. We think that is backwards. Opsily offers flat-rate hosting where you can add unlimited admin users and API consumers at no extra cost. Whether you have five developers or five hundred, your monthly bill stays the same. Focus on building features instead of managing seat licenses.
Built for teams who need reliability
One Schema, Two Powerful APIs
Directus is not a traditional CMS. It is a data engine that sits on top of your SQL database. When you host your Directus API with us, you get instant access to two world-class interfaces for your data.
Instant REST API
Directus generates a dynamic REST API based on your database schema. It includes comprehensive CRUD operations, advanced filtering, and deep relational nesting. Unlike static generators, changes to your database are reflected in the API in real-time. This makes it the perfect backbone for mobile apps, web platforms, and internal tools.
Production-Ready GraphQL
If you prefer GraphQL, Directus provides a full-featured endpoint that supports complex queries and mutations. You get a built-in GraphiQL IDE to test your queries. Because you have full control over the underlying infrastructure on Opsily, you can optimize your database indexes and Redis caching to ensure your GraphQL queries stay lightning fast even with deep joins.
Granular Access Control
Security is built into the core. Define roles and permissions down to the individual field level. Use the Directus API to enforce complex business logic through its powerful Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system. Whether you are building a public-facing portal or a sensitive internal dashboard, you can ensure users only see the data they are authorized to access.
