# Datum Node

> Connect your Brain Studio flows with your Datum databases to read and write records

The **Datum node** lets you interact with your Datum collections directly from Brain Studio flows. You can read, create, update, and delete records as part of your automations.

<Note>
  To learn about all Datum features (collections, imports, API Keys, triggers, and MCP), see the [complete Datum documentation](/guides/datum/introduccion).

## What is Datum?

**Datum** is Jelou's managed database solution. You do not need to configure servers, manage replicas, or worry about auto-scaling — everything is managed automatically.
