The dcupl stack
The dcupl ecosystem is a robust suite of tools designed to streamline every aspect of data management and web development. At its core is the dcupl SDK, empowering developers with versatile functionalities. The dcupl Console takes charge of data, project, and process administration, offering a centralized hub for seamless control.
For rapid web development, dcupl components provide an agile solution, ensuring efficiency in creating dynamic web applications. dcupl's REST APIs excel in crafting out-of-the-box APIs that mirror the functionality of the dcupl SDK - but operate on the server side. Additionally, dcupl Workflows empower users to establish efficient data pipelines, enhancing overall workflow management.
