And yes you can connect directly a database - critically, Plasmic lets you define backend operations that work with auth: https://docs.plasmic.app/learn/integrations/#security

MUI's Toolpad looks pretty cool! I'm going to try it out today.
One big difference is that Plasmic is a platform and can be used by non-developers to make changes that go straight to production. Think marketers, content managers, and other non-devs that are on your team who want to ship new designs and content without bugging the dev.
Looking at the demo, does Plasmic have any killer features that MUI's offering doesn't? At the moment, MUI's main limitation is that it can't connect directly to a database: you have to go through an API, or write an API route for each app that proxies the SQL queries.
