Apps and resource types
The Orvanta Hub hosts two more resource categories beyond scripts and flows: apps (interactive UIs) and resource types (typed connection schemas).
Hub apps are interactive, forkable UIs built on scripts and flows — dashboards, admin tools, and internal forms, not just automation without a front end. Examples on the Hub today include a products dashboard, a financial-recovery dashboard, a production-planning app, an enterprise tool-orchestration dashboard, a dynamic form example, a MongoDB admin panel, and an AI company-assistant app.
Fork one in when you need a UI in front of a workflow — the app editor covers building and customising them once forked.
Resource types
Section titled “Resource types”A resource type is a typed schema for a connection — the fields Orvanta needs to talk to a specific database, API, or provider, so a script or flow can request “a Postgres connection” instead of hand-rolling connection parameters. The Hub’s resource-type catalogue spans:
- Databases and infrastructure — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, S3, SMTP
- AI/LLM providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google AI, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, Together AI, AWS Bedrock
- Authentication primitives — API key auth, AWS OIDC, Basic HTTP auth, signature auth
- Other integrations — GitLab, Shopify, RSS, JSON Schema, and more
When a script or flow you fork depends on a resource type you don’t have yet, add it from the Hub’s resource-type catalogue and fill in your own credentials — the schema is shared, the values never are.
