Episode 104 - Retool Application Builder

If you build it, they will come...

Well, I originally took a look at Retool a while ago. It is a really rich application builder that allows self-hosting too (as a Docker container). I liked the idea of this given a company might want to have control of apps within their own infrastructure.

Retool as come along leaps and bounds and now:

  • Still has an amazingly rich application building interface with lots of integrations options including your own API targets

  • “Hands-Free” PostgreSQL database! Use whatever datastore you want (including the Retool internal one) or indeed PostgreSQL to have full database control either via SQL code or SQL GUI :)

  • Has a really slick workflow module - you can trigger things, perform actions, and conditions and of course lots of integrations :)

  • Mobile! Just investigating this, but check it out for yourself!
