tryretool/backend repository overview

⁠The fastest way to develop effective software.

You can find more about Retool on our website⁠.

Deploying Retool on-premise⁠ ensures that all access to internal data is managed within your own cloud environment. It also provides the flexibility to control how Retool is setup within your infrastructure, the ability to configure logging, and access to enable custom SAML SSO using providers like Okta and Active Directory.

Self-hosted releases are different from Retool's cloud releases⁠, and when you self-host, your version isn't automatically updated. If you decide to self-host, you can read more about updating⁠ and release versions⁠.
