Can Flutterflow app access MySQL database from my Google Cloud Instance?

I will create a mobile app for Android and iOS. The purpose of the app is to access just a segment of the MySQL database, that part is for customers (the rest of the database is used by employees via my web application). Is there a way the for FlutterFlow app to access MySQL database instead of FireBase Storage? If not, what are the alternatives?

Though flutterflow has default integration with Firebase firestore database, below 2 approaches can be used.

1. API integration approach can be used to use MYSQL database.

Please refer below flow:

• You can have backend Server which will host the API.

• This backend server will have integration with MYSQL DB

• API's will be consumed in flutterflow app

2. Custom code approach (Though have not used it before)
