# Resources

### What is a resource

A resource can be any type of information that needs to be stored and organized, including formats like a flat CSV file, an SQL database, or applications such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Shopify, as well as unstructured forms like text, images, audio, and video files.

In Acho Studio, you can easily connect APIs, flat files, and databases to resources for a great variety of applications.
