[App Builder] Add CosmosDB support to the new app builder

Hi Retool team,

Could CosmosDB be added as a supported resource in the new app builder?

Right now the docs confirm it isn't:

CosmosDB isn't yet supported in the new app builder. Use a classic app, workflow, or agent instead.
ā€” https://docs.retool.com/data-sources/guides/connect/cosmosdb

CosmosDB is our main datastore, so the new builder is currently unusable for the apps we most want to build. MongoDB, MSSQL, DynamoDB and Redis are all already supported.

What we'd need: CosmosDB (API for NoSQL) as a resource in the new builder, with schema introspection, and the same read/create/replace/delete operations as the classic resource.

Since the docs say resources are being added incrementally, is CosmosDB on the roadmap, and any sense of timing?

Thanks!

Summary

A feature request asking that CosmosDB (API for NoSQL) be added as a supported resource in the new app builder, with schema introspection and the same read/create/replace/delete operations as the classic resource, along with any roadmap or timing details.

AI Response

This is a confirmed current limitation: the CosmosDB integration documentation for the new app builder explicitly states it is "Not currently supported in the app builder." The documented path in the meantime is to use CosmosDB from a classic app, a workflow, or an agent, all of which support the full read/create/replace/delete operations. Resources are being added to the new app builder incrementally, but there is no publicly confirmed roadmap commitment or timeline for CosmosDB specifically. New resource support for the new app builder is announced in the Retool changelog, so that is the best place to watch for this becoming available. No separate corroborating reports or staff roadmap statements for CosmosDB in the new builder were found in the Community.

Thanks for flagging this, @gata! We want to achieve full resource parity before the new app builder goes GA, but I'll surface this to the team to see if we can prioritize it. :+1:
