Baserow

Baserow is an open-source, web-based no-code database for creating and collaborating on structured data. It provides spreadsheet-like tables with multiple views, supports building data entry forms, and exposes your data through APIs for integrations and lightweight internal tools.

Key Features

• Airtable-style databases with workspaces, databases, tables, and field types
• Multiple views (e.g., grid and kanban) to organize and visualize records
• Form view for collecting data via shareable forms
• Role-based access and collaboration features for teams
• REST API and webhook support for integrations and automation
• Import/export capabilities (commonly including CSV) for data migration
• Extensible architecture designed for plugins/enterprise add-ons and scaling

Use Cases

• Build internal tools (inventory, CRM-lite, operations trackers) without custom code
• Replace spreadsheets with structured, permissioned team databases
• Collect and manage submissions (intake requests, surveys, applications) via forms

Limitations and Considerations

• Advanced analytics/dashboarding and complex relational reporting are more limited than dedicated BI tools
• Feature completeness can vary by view type and edition (community vs. paid offerings)

Baserow is a strong choice for teams that want an Airtable-like experience with control over deployment and data. Its combination of no-code UI, collaboration, and APIs makes it suitable for operational databases, simple apps, and integration-driven workflows.
