Hi, I’m new to bubble and so I have a specific question about its capabilities. I have a database on Amazon Web Services and was wondering if I could use bubble to display that data on a user-friendly website. Thanks! ---

It may depend on the type of database you have on AWS, but see the following: > **[Introduction](https://manual.bubble.io/)** > > Welcome to the Bubble Docs. > [@\[New Feature\] Database connector](http://forum.bubble.io/t/new-feature-database-connector/1961/4): > > Can you provide an example connection string? There are many variations (C.f., [https://www.connectionstrings.com/](https://www.connectionstrings.com/)) and none seem to work for a normal 3306 external mySQL 4.1 or 5.6 or 5.7 database. Thanks. ---

If you have a web server that exposes an API you can also you the API connector to GET and POST data to your webserver.
