Datasource

Any 3rd party system that returns data back to the Appsmith platform is a datasource. This could be Mysql, Postgresql or even an API endpoint.

DatasourceConfiguration

Each datasource requires some configuration for the Appsmith platform to connect and query. This could include hostname, port, user credentials etc.

Action

An API/Query is termed as an "Action". It is the actual executor that finally fetches the data from the 3rd party datasource.
