Mission

Our mission at Formata is to connect applications and the people who use them through data.

Vision

We see a world where thousands of applications function as one at the data layer - unlocking a reality where data is safe, controlled, and much more efficient and cost-effective to work with.

Values

• Security & Authorization
  • Access to data should be controlled, period.
  • Data is never stored on our servers, it merely passes through our gateway.
  • You always have control over who has access to your Formata APIs.
• Efficiency
  • Remote data should feel as close to your application as possible - both for user experience and developer experience.
  • We lead the way in cutting-edge technology and are forever committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible for data and connectivity.
• Format agnostic
  • All data is Formata data - we believe access to data should not be limited by the format in which it is stored or intended to be used.
• Developer first
  • Formata is built by developers, for developers.
  • There’s no getting around the fact that when it comes to scaling with your organization’s and user’s needs, API & SDK customizability and maintainability are chief priorities. This can only be accomplished with developers.
  • Formata helps turn the job of a team of developers into something far fewer developers can manage themselves - in most cases a single developer. We do this by being committed to developer experience in everything we do.
• Simplicity
  • A lot of technology is over-engineered or unnecessarily complex. Formata is not - we are constantly simplifying and are committed to being as effortless to work with as possible.
  • All you need to know to create APIs and endpoints in Formata is JSON. No separate code repositories, custom languages, complex configurations, or costly developer onboarding.
  • Formata is easy to use and easy to move away from if needed.
