As Softr continues to grow, our focus remains clear: to make Softr a truly data source-agnostic platform. We've seen our users build incredible apps, but many of you needed greater flexibility and scalability with your data sources.

That's why we're thrilled to announce that Softr now integrates with SQL databases! Connect Softr directly with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and MariaDB. This integration empowers you to use powerful, scalable SQL databases, allowing you to create more complex internal tools and portals.

Building powerful no-code tools with SQL data sources

We know one of the biggest hurdles for SMBs and teams is accessing production data. Important info like customer details, sales figures, and inventory often stays locked in SQL databases, out of reach without a developer or the right integration tool.

Before now, Softr builders had to manually export data using CSV files or rely on complex, unfriendly analytics tools. Using no-code databases as the primary data source often meant hitting record limits and running into performance issues as projects grew more complex.

Whether you're building apps to share data with your team or external vendors, we believe accessing your SQL data shouldn't require coding expertise.

Why build apps on top of SQL data sources with Softr?

Connect your SQL database to Softr with ease

While SQL databases hold all your structured data, getting to that data usually requires advanced technical skills. Softr changes that. Now, anyone on your team can easily build customizable, data-driven apps using your database data.

Get started quickly: Connect your SQL database in a few clicks. For more details, visit our help doc.

Let internal teams or external partners securely access data

Let's say different teams or external vendors need access to your SQL databases, but you want to control what they can do or which data they can access.

With Softr, you can easily customize user groups and granular permissions. Allow some users to view data while giving others the ability to make updates, all while keeping your data secure. This flexibility helps you reduce the risk of errors and maintain control over your data, ensuring everyone has the right level of access for their role.

Scale without record limitations

As your data grows, no-code databases can slow down and struggle with complex queries or record limits, impacting your app’s performance. With Softr, you can now scale to larger datasets without hitting record limits. Build sophisticated apps that grow with your business, ensuring you always have the flexibility and performance you need.
