When you configure a resource on Retool Cloud, you can now choose to route traffic through the eu-central-1 region, based in Frankfurt, Germany, or through the default us-west-2 region, based in Oregon, US. This determines the network round trip time it takes Retool to query your data sources. Selecting a region in close proximity to your resources can improve your application's performance.

You can set a default region for all your resources and override it for individual resources. Learn how to set resource regions in our documentation.

Secret Management is now supported in Retool! We have native integrations with AWS and HashiCorp Vault that allow you to keep your secrets secure and rotate them without restarting your Retool instance.

Admins can set up secrets by namespace after granting Retool access through their secrets manager provider.

Set up Secrets Manager

Resource editors can reference those secrets by key name on resource configuration fields. Retool will then fetch the secret values directly from the secrets manager.

Set up Secrets Manager

These integrations will be available on self-hosted Retool (v3.4+) on the Enterprise plan.

For customers that aren’t on our Enterprise plans, check out our newly released Environment Configuration Variables feature to store secrets securely in Retool without exposing them.

We're expanding beyond internal tools so you can build nearly any software for your business with Retool.

With this launch, we're adding two new products to help you:

  • Ship a secure, custom portal: Build and host portals for your customers, partners, and vendors fully on Retool with Retool Portals which manages signup, authentication, and permissions out of the box.
  • Augment existing software: Quickly add data and CRUD functionality to an existing app or portal with Retool Embed.

Both Retool Portals and Retool Embed are now available across Business and Enterprise plans.

To learn more about how Embed and Portals are changing the way you can build with Retool, watch the overview video.

You can read integration details in [the docs](/apps/guides/app-management/embed-apps to embed your first Retool app or build an end-to-end portal on Retool.
