# Architecture Overview

The overall architecture of the Adapptio Framework is divided into several parts; Integrations, Actions, API Endpoints and Views. The Integrations, Actions and API Endpoints are running at the secured back-end in the Adapptio cloud; meanwhile, the Views are running at the client-side in your browser.

Integrations authenticate and call API, load static data, and connect databases using a secure proxy.

The actions permeate between the user interface and integrations and provide a secure connection, data transformation and pass data from integrations to the user interface and vice versa.

The Views represent a visual output of your applications run in a web browser on computers, tablets, or mobile devices.

The complete applications can be run in the Adapptio cloud or self hosted in your infrastructure.
