Business in the Front, Party in the Back (Office)
summary
A practical walk-through that actually builds a back‑office: connects to Postgres, talks to a Rails blog API, scaffolds a list and a form, and performs CRUD through Retool + Rails + Postgres. The demo wires UI components to SQL and HTTP requests, shows using the Rails validation by create posts via Rails API, and mentions deploying on Render, HTTP basic auth, workflow cron jobs, and SSO and audit logging for privileged actions.
