Hello,

I have a Kotlin backend with postgresql, which provides me with data, does my processing, etc.

I wanted to know if it was possible to connect my Glide frontend with my Kotlin backend? Make calls to my API and retrieve all the data I want?

Thanks

I don’t have any experience with this, but can you check if you can import your PostgreSQL backend straight into Glide using the option above?

Hola!

You can try with the Call API plugin [Call API | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/integrations/call-api) to have highest security.
