Support to use SSL for external DB connections
Feature Request
Add SSL support for connecting to external databases.
Motivation
Hardening applications for production usually includes encrypting data both in transit and at rest. Currently, connecting Langflow to an external database does not use SSL which offers less security by increasing the attack vector.
Your Contribution
SSL is natively supported by Postgres, which appears to be a first-class citizen for external database considerations with Langflow. I was able to craft a work-around by appending additional arguments to the LANGFLOW_DATABASE_URL environment variable per this example:
LANGFLOW_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://langflow:[email protected]:5432/langflow_db?sslmode=require
Looking at the code, a better approach would likely be to pass such arguments into SQLAlchemy's create_engine() connect_args parameter.
