title: "Components"
description: "Infisical's components span multiple clients, an API, and a storage backend"
---
## Infisical API
The Infisical API (sometimes referred to as the **backend**) contains the core platform logic.
## Storage backend
Infisical relies on a storage backend to store data including users and secrets.
Currently, the only supported storage backend is [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com) but we plan to add support for other options including PostgreSQL in Q1 2024.
## Redis
Infisical uses [Redis](https://redis.com) to enable more complex workflows including a queuing system to manage long running asynchronous tasks, cron jobs, as well as reliable cache for frequently used resources.
## Infisical Web UI
The Web UI is the browser-based portal that connects to the Infisical API.
## Infisical clients
Clients are any application or infrastructure that connecting to the Infisical API using one of the below methods:
- Public API: Making API requests directly to the Infisical API.
- Client SDK: A platform-specific library with method abstractions for working with secrets. Currently, there are two official SDKs: [Node SDK](https://github.com/Infisical/infisical-node) and [Python SDK](https://github.com/Infisical/infisical-python).
- CLI: A terminal-based interface for interacting with the Infisical API.
- Kubernetes Operator: This operator retrieves secrets from Infisical and securely store
