Platform OverviewCopied!

Eden is a developer-first platform designed to simplify infrastructure and deployment for teams operating in highly regulated environments. At its core, Eden provides a robust framework for connecting disparate systems, transforming data between formats, and automating complex business processes.

The platform consists of two main components:

1. Eden API - A comprehensive RESTful API service for data integration, transformation, and workflow management

2. Eden-MDBS - An ACID-compliant cross-border database abstraction service that allows users to interact with multiple independent database systems through a shared API

Eden excels at:

• Data Integration: Connect and communicate with external systems through endpoints

• Data Transformation: Convert, map, and process data using templates and JSON utilities

• Process Automation: Define and execute complex workflows spanning multiple systems

• Access Control: Manage permissions with fine-grained control through IAM and RBAC

• Multi-Database Management: Interact with multiple independent database systems through a unified interface

API DocumentationCopied!

Authentication

Eden uses JWT (JSON Web Token) based authentication to secure API access. Authentication is managed through the following endpoints:

• /auth/login - Obtain a JWT token by providing valid credentials

• /auth/refresh - Refresh an existing JWT token

• /auth/password/reset - Request a password reset

Login Process

To obtain a JWT token:

1. Make a POST request to /auth/login

2. Include the required X-Org-Id header with your organization ID

3. Provide your credentials in the request body

4. The response will include a JWT token to use in subsequent requests

Organizations

Organizations are the top-level container for all resources in Eden. Each user belongs to one or more organizations, and resources (endpoints, templates, workflows) are created within the context of an organization.

Organization Operations

• POST /new - Create a new organization

• GET /organizations - Retrieve organization details

• DELETE /organizations - Delete an organization

• PATCH /organizations - Update organization details

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The IAM system allows you to manage users and permissions within your organization.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Eden implements a comprehensive Role-Based Access Control system that provides sophisticated, fine-grained control over all resources within the platform.

Key features include:

• Five distinct access levels (SuperAdmin, Admin, Write, Read, None)

• Controls for multiple resource types (Organizations, Endpoints, Templates, Workflows)

• Comprehensive API endpoints for permission management

• Hierarchical permission inheritance with override capabilities

• Extensive logging and auditing capabilities

Endpoints

Endpoints in Eden represent connections to external systems or services. They allow your application to read from and write to these systems in a standardized way.

Endpoint Operations

• POST /endpoints - Create a new endpoint connection

• GET /endpoints/{endpoint} - Retrieve endpoint details

• DELETE /endpoints/{endpoint} - Disconnect from an endpoint

• POST /endpoints/{endpoint}/read - Read data from an endpoint

• POST /endpoints/{endpoint}/write - Write data to an endpoint

Templates

Templates define data transformations that can be reused across your application. They allow you to standardize how data is processed and formatted.

Template Operations

• POST /templates - Create a template

• GET /templates/{template} - Retrieve template details

• POST /templates/{template} - Run a template

• DELETE /templates/{template} - Delete a template

• PATCH /templates/{template} - Update a template

• POST /templates/{template}/render - Render a template with provided data

Workflows

Workflows orchestrate complex processes involving multiple steps, potentially spanning different systems and data transformations.

Workflow Operations

• POST /workflows - Create a workflow

• GET /workflows/{workflow} - Retrieve workflow details

• DELETE /workflows/{workflow} - Delete a workflow

• PATCH /workflows/{workflow} - Update a workflow

JSON Utilities

Eden provides several utilities for manipulating JSON data:

• POST /json/flatten - Flatten a nested JSON structure

• POST /json/map - Apply a mapping function to JSON data

• POST /json/parse - Parse a JSON string

• POST /json/reduce - Reduce JSON data using a function

• POST /json/unflatten - Restore a flattened JSON structure

Eden-MDBS: Multi-Database Management SystemCopied!

MDBS Overview

Eden-MDBS is an ACID-compliant cross-border database abstraction service. A multi-database management system (MDBS) is an infrastructure solution that allows users to interact with multiple independent database systems through a shared API and proxy service.

Depending on the sophistication of an MDBS system, benefits include:

• Shared credentials

• Logical database routing

• Regionalized content caching

• Abstracted data partitioning

• Writing or reading from multiple databases in a single transaction

• Serialized transaction logging

• And more

Key Features

• Universal Data Layer: Simplifies and unifies access to diverse data infrastructure

• Cross-Database Transactions: Enables transactions across multiple database systems with ACID compliance

• Global Security Credentials: Unified credential management across all connected systems

• Global Transaction Consistency: Ensures that all transactions are processed in a deterministic sequence

• Hybrid Deployment Support: Works seamlessly across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments

Use Cases

1. Multi-cloud / Hybrid-cloud Deployments

When an enterprise utilizes a heterogeneous cloud architecture, deploying services across cloud providers or cloud architectures (e.g., public cloud versus on-prem), risks related to service availability, durability, consistency, and security introduce new business challenges. Eden-MDBS abstracts away this complexity, allowing organizations to treat their entire backend infrastructure as a single endpoint, regardless of region, provider, or service.

Case Study Example: Enterprise A is a consumer software business with dozens of independent software products, each with 2-5 separate databases. Managing nearly a hundred different databases across providers and regions created significant inefficiencies. With Eden-MDBS, they connected their distributed databases in under a week, discovered cross-database inefficiencies, and restructured their backend architecture with minimal production impact.

2. Global Security Credentials

When enterprises utilize multiple cloud providers, credential management becomes complex. Over 90% of enterprises use multiple cloud providers (Forbes), requiring sophisticated solutions for cross-system credential management. Eden-MDBS offers access management and security credentials out of the box, ensuring every connected endpoint utilizes the same high-security credentials.

Case Study Example: Enterprise B uses both public cloud and on-premises solutions. Managing two separate credential systems led to delays in updating access when employees joined teams or services were modified, resulting in credential leakage and security risks. By implementing Eden-MDBS as their global credential layer, they achieved a one-user, one-credential approach that drastically reduced risks and simplified credential management.

3. Global Transaction Consistency

For enterprises with multiple independent, globally distributed systems, determining the order of operations across systems is challenging. This is particularly important when transactions at one endpoint can affect outcomes at another. Eden-MDBS ensures every request is processed in a deterministic sequence, reducing inconsistencies and improving performance.

Case Study Example: Enterprise C uses separate product, customer, and accounting databases. When a customer places an order, all three databases need updates, requiring a centralized event architecture that increased latency and reduced performance. With Eden-MDBS as a consistency layer, they ensured operations affecting multiple endpoints processed as deterministic transactions, preventing databases from falling out of sync.
