Embarcadero RAD Server

Turn your Delphi and C++ code into secure REST APIs — without writing a server by hand

RAD Server is a ready-made, turn-key foundation for building and deploying services-based applications. Load your existing Delphi or C++Builder business logic and automatically get managed REST/JSON API endpoints, ready for desktop, mobile, and web clients.

  • Automatic generation of REST/JSON API endpoints from your existing Delphi/C++ code
  • Built-in authentication, push notifications, geolocation, and secure data storage
  • Host on-premise on a Windows server or in the cloud — Amazon, Rackspace, Azure
Why RAD Server

Three reasons to switch to RAD Server

Migrate your existing business logic to a modern, scalable architecture — without losing time building a server by hand.

Turn-key back-end

A robust, ready-made platform for building and deploying Delphi and C++Builder application services, with no server built from scratch.

Fast deploymentNo DataSnap

Heterogeneous Clients

APIs published as REST/JSON endpoints support desktop, mobile, and wearable clients, as well as popular JavaScript web frameworks.

Any clientREST/JSON

Secure and Scalable

Built-in access control, multi-tenancy support, and connectivity to any popular enterprise database or cloud service.

Everything Your Back-End Needs

A complete platform for APIs and services

From auto-generated endpoints to user management — RAD Server covers the entire back-end lifecycle.

Auto REST/JSON

Automatically generated, managed REST/JSON API endpoints from your Delphi or C++ business logic.

Management Portal

Cloud Hosting

Host privately on-premise on a Windows server, or in the cloud — Amazon, Rackspace, Azure.

Multi-Tenancy

A single RAD Server instance with one database supports multiple isolated clients (tenants).

Logic Migration

Migrate your existing Delphi/C++ client/server business logic to a modern, services-based architecture.

Open and Scalable

A stateless, RESTful, and secure architecture — ready to grow alongside your application.
