Rich applications require real data to build intuitive UI, perform data transformations & write business correct logic. Appsmith can talk to your data in the following ways
Appsmith safely encrypts all your data source credentials and stores them securely. Appsmith also does not store any data returned from your data sources and acts only as a proxy layer to orchestrate the execution of Queries. Since Appsmith is an open-source framework, you can deploy it on-premise, and audit it to ensure none of your data leaves your VPC. Read more about Security​
Sample Data
If you would like to play around with the platform before connecting your data, we provide mock data sources that you can use.
Sample DB
You can connect to 2 sample datasets
1.
Movies: This is a sample mongoDb database with a collection called movies
2.
Users: This is a sample PostgreSQL database with a table called users
The data in the mock database gets reset every 24 hours and is common for all users so it may contain some unexpected values.
Sample API
You can import the below CURL commands to execute these APIs
