About Profound API

Profound API is a low-code platform from Profound Logic that empowers organizations to design, deploy, and manage modern REST APIs directly on the IBM i. Built specifically with the IBM i ecosystem in mind, Profound API connects natively to Db2 for i, RPG programs, and ILE procedures, while also supporting other popular databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and Oracle. Through a visual, dashboard-driven interface, developers can transform existing business logic and data sources into production-ready REST services in minutes rather than months—without the overhead of additional middleware. Every API is automatically documented with OpenAPI specifications, making it easy for both internal teams and external partners to discover, test, and consume the services that power today's web, mobile, and integration-driven workloads.

Profound API embraces a philosophy of "futurization" rather than replacement: it extends the long-standing value of IBM i investments by exposing them to modern architectures, rather than forcing costly rewrites or platform migrations. This approach allows organizations to preserve trusted business logic while opening the door to mobile apps, cloud services, third-party integrations, and modern web applications. Whether you’re taking the first step toward API enablement or scaling an enterprise-wide integration strategy, Profound API delivers the speed, flexibility, and openness needed to keep IBM i at the heart of a modern, connected business.
