We're releasing a new wave of Retool platform capabilities to provide greater flexibility and governance over how you organize your teams, secure your data, delegate permissions, and more.

We're going even further on foundational platform features (SSO, RBAC, environments, Source Control, audit logs, and multiple hosting options), adding:

  • Spaces: Independent workspaces for teams to manage their own apps, permissions, resources, connections, and git repos—all while sharing core infrastructure with other teams.
  • Platform APIs Programmatically manage the Retool platform with robust API endpoints to manage workspaces, provision users, assign permissions, organize apps, and more.
  • Extended permissions: Grant data-level access permissions for resources in each environment, ensuring that applications built in Retool are secure by default
  • Orchestrated governance: Create automated workflows and alerts that trigger whenever users are created, sign up, request access, and more.

Retool Storage is a hosted blob store that allows you to upload and interact with your files without needing to configure an object store (e.g., S3, Azure File Storage). There is a 5 GB storage limit per organization, with a 250 MB limit on file size. Your browser may have settings that restrict this limit further.

Working with files has previously been a challenge for users as it required storing base64 strings or using third-party data stores. Retool Storage is a built-in solution that requires no configuration.

There are two ways to interact with Retool Storage:

  • The Retool Storage section in the Resources tab for your organization.
  • The Retool Storage resource, available in both apps and workflows.

You can programmatically upload, read, and download from Retool Storage.

We're excited to announce that Retool Workflows is now generally available. Workflows is a visual automation product that lets you compose APIs and database queries with code (JavaScript or Python) to automate work. It combines the ease of drag-and-drop with the extensibility and reliability of code that engineers need for production-grade work. We've also integrated it with the rest of the Retool product so you can extend workflows with user interfaces or vice versa.

Read the blog post to learn more about Workflows, check out the documentation, and start building for free.
