# Admin Console: the Services Tab

Tutorial·13 January 2016·6 min 27 sec

An overview of the Services tab, where every data source, file store, and remote API is connected. This is where most DreamFactory work begins. Part of the Admin Console series.

**Recorded in 2016.** The concepts still apply, but the interface shown predates the current DreamFactory release. The Admin Console has since been redesigned — see [Introducing the Redesigned DreamFactory Interface](https://www.dreamfactory.com/videos/new-admin-ui) for what changed.

## What you’ll learn

* Connecting databases, file stores, and remote APIs
* How a service becomes a set of generated endpoints
