API Architect
What it is
API Architect is a web product for defining software architecture, business rules, APIs, and AI governance in a shared executable language. Its versioned modeling language represents systems, containers, and flows, while a central model holds DTOs, compliance rules, and operational constraints. API generation uses those definitions to align APIs with business needs, governance, and standards. The maker calls its broader language Enterprise DSL, covering architecture, business, APIs, rules, AI, governance, and compliance. AI systems can load this DSL as an internal model so generated APIs follow stated rules and governance boundaries. An example combines a market-specific maximum length for a resource field with a GET route returning that resource. Listed use cases include banking and insurance, retail and e-commerce, industry and energy, and SaaS publishers. Style guide enforcement and API linting are included. Plans are available on the web.
