Self-Hosted Saved Rows allow you to control where and how your rows are stored and managed, offering flexibility to meet your application's unique requirements. This option is ideal for teams with development resources who want to integrate row storage into their existing infrastructure.
When users save rows, the data includes layout, content, and style settings. This data needs to be stored and managed, typically in your own database, to make rows available for reuse within your design builder.
Storage Use a database or storage solution to house self-hosted saved rows. Examples of a few options include:
Cloud databases (e.g., AWS RDS, Google Cloud Firestore)
Local databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL)
Document-based databases (e.g., MongoDB)
Development Resources Ensure your team has the capability to connect your storage to your application. This includes:
Setting up secure storage with proper access controls.
Implementing any necessary API endpoints or backend logic to retrieve, save, and manage rows.
You can directly save and retrieve rows using your own database.
For teams that prefer not to handle row storage and development in-house, we offer Hosted Saved Rows. This solution stores rows for you and provides your end users with a UI for saving rows throughout their designing experience. This eliminates the need to create a custom infrastructure.
Saved Rows in Beefree SDK empower users to save, reuse, and organize design elements efficiently, which optimizes the creation process for emails, pages, and popups. With Saved Rows, users can categorize rows by themes or criteria, ensuring easy access and consistency across projects.
Beefree SDK offers two hosting options: Hosted Saved Rows and Self-Hosted Saved Rows. Each option has unique advantages suited to specific organizational needs, resources, and technical requirements. This guide compares the options, helping you choose the best fit for your team.
Hosted Saved Rows offers a fully managed solution, eliminating the need to set up and maintain backend systems. With this option, Beefree SDK handles storage, security, scaling, and updates, allowing your team to focus on delivering a great user experience. In addition to managing storage, this option also provides you with a ready-to-go user interface made available to your application's end users through a toggle in the Developer Console.
This ready-to-go UI enables application end users to:
Save a row and make it available for reuse in the future
Add new saved row categories to organize the rows they save
Edit a saved row's existing name and category
Delete a saved row
Update existing saved rows with the option to save them as new saved rows
Fully managed by Beefree SDK, and activated through a toggle in the Developer Console.
Ideal for teams that want a quick setup without maintaining backend systems.
Offers centralized storage, security, and reliability, while also providing a user interface to save and reuse rows within your application.
Self-Hosted Saved Rows gives teams complete control over how Saved Rows are stored, managed, and secured. This option is best for organizations with specific compliance or integration requirements, and those with the resources to manage backend systems effectively.
Allows full control over where and how rows are stored.
Suitable for teams with specific compliance or integration needs.
Requires development resources for managing row storage, and creating a user interface to manage and reuse rows.
Both options allow end users to save and reuse rows on the frontend, but the best hosting option for your team will depend on your priorities concerning setup complexity, development resources (for storage and building a UI), and ongoing maintenance.
