Asked by SandyAquaAngler
I have my app & local machine in the trusted sources of the database. I can connect to the database from my local machine but unable to connect to it from the app platform.
Is this something not supported or am I missing something?

For example if you connect your DigitalOcean database to an App Platform app as “mydb” component, and that database has a connection pool “mypool”, you can use bindable variables to automatically integrate it into your app as a trusted connection. An example environment variable would be:
See the documentation.
Hope this helps.
