A service provider will manage the database for you, including the provisioning of instances or clusters.

Improved REST API documentation
We’re excited to announce some big improvements to our REST API documentation. We’ve moved to a three-column layout to improve the readability of our docs and make it easier to see parameters with example requests and responses grouped together. The example column on the right in the three- column layout is sticky to allow you to cross-reference the example values to the request body parameters.

Web3 APIs - How to Build dApps Faster with Web3 and NFT APIs

Web3 platforms like Moralis, Alchemy and Quick Node provide efficient APIs that power communication between your dApps and the Blockchain.

How I fell in love with low-js
A few years ago I was working on a project written in style still common for today: python backend serving a REST API (public btw) using framework-of-the-day. It was horrible.
