Seiden Group Now Supports Mapepire for Node.js and Db2 for IBM i Connectivity

Seiden Group is pleased to announce that we now provide production support for the open source Mapepire database connector for IBM i. This includes support for Node.js applications and cloud-based or containerized workloads that connect to Db2 for i.

Many developers already rely on Mapepire every day because it’s the back-end to the Db2 for i extension for VS Code. We’re excited to help clients adopt this lightweight connector.

What is Mapepire?

Mapepire is a modern open source database driver designed to provide fast, reliable access to Db2 for i, particularly from Node.js, cloud computing environments, and containers. It was created to address challenges with older ODBC solutions, offering a streamlined alternative that works well across platforms and deployment environments.

Mapepire is currently used with a variety of programming languages. The Mapepire GitHub repository includes a complete list of supported clients—including Node.js, Java, Python, with other Mapepire clients such as PHP and C# supported informally.

Yet another benefit of Seiden SmartSupport

Seiden Group is proud to add Mapepire to the technologies we support under SmartSupport, alongside and supplementing PHP, Node.js, Python, and VS Code for i support. Whether you’re building apps on IBM i or integrating Db2 for i from the cloud, we’re here to support you.

Get in touch if you need your Node.js Db2 connection to be rock-solid, or would like production support with other open source technology or IBM i.
