apooleyQ: I'm hesitant to install this...
I've purchased, and I'm not ready to leave a review because I'm hesitant to install this application into my SaaS. The fact that it installs onto my PostgreSQL DB is an interesting approach; but it also means setting up access to my production database.
Right now, access to the DB ports on the server is carefully guarded to two IP addresses:
- Dev site
- Live site
Dreamlit doesn't have a dedicated external IP address, so I would have to allow wide access to the DB server. Not just on the database, but on the firewall leading to the server. Bye bye defence-in-depth.
I've thought about setting up a replica DB, without the client PII, on a separate server... but then I'm taking on a non-insignificant cost and doing tons of work instead of just building email templates?
My question: Do you have plans to implement an API in future? When?

Jan 30, 2026A: Thanks for the question! Re DB access/IP issue: today Dreamlit connects from a serverless execution layer, and we don’t have fixed outbound IPs you can allowlist yet. That means if your posture is “DB only reachable from these 2 IPs,” we can’t meet that requirement yet. Private connectivity options are on the roadmap, but it’s not available today.
Regarding whether we support an API: Dreamlit is intentionally a database-driven solution, and the beauty of that approach is that there is no API 🙂. I.e. no glue code or engineering work on your end. Databases are inherently contextual (schema + data + events), whereas APIs are not (you need to package all the event data at call time), which means the AI can work smarter for you. So we currently do not have plans to offer an email sending API.
