To keep the setup of the Nango open source version simple we have made some choices that may not be ideal for production. Please take them into consideration before using it in production:
The database is bundled in the docker container with transient storage. This means that updating the Docker image causes configs/credentials loss. We recommend that you connect Nango to a production DB that lives outside the docker setup to mitigate this.
Credentials are not encrypted at rest and stored in plain text
No authentication by default
No SSL setup by default
The setup is not optimized for scaling
Updating the provider templates requires an update of the docker containers
