How can I work using dynamic pages and an External database?

Could someone give me a link talking about this and some example source code if possible.

Is this possible?

Yes, you would have to connect everything from your JSON through code to your dynamic page elements after using fetch to get your external database. If it’s AWS, you’ll also have to enable permissions.

Thank you so much David. Do you already use API this way? If so, would you tell me if communication with the database is fast.

Thanks a lot again!

Hey Marcio, it’s as fast as whoever is hosting your data is, and as efficient as your backend module is written to be. I haven’t sensed any discernible bottleneck from Wix’s end.

Hi David, did you ever get this to work… I am currently debating to use Wix as a frontend for an API I am developing.
