DreamFactory allows you to quickly connect more business applications, such as internal systems, to ensure that additional data is visible within Glances. DreamFactory builds a REST API for Glances to access, even if the system is out-of-date or hard-to-access, which allows Glances and your business application to communicate with each other.
Dream Factory will allow you to:
- Connect internal systems.
- Save time and boost productivity with more connected software and systems.
- Create instant APIs without the need for any code.
