Low-code backend platform with an Airtable-like UI for managing Firestore databases and building cloud function workflows in your browser.
Rowy is an open-source low-code backend platform that provides an Airtable-like spreadsheet interface for managing Firestore databases. It allows developers to build and automate cloud function workflows directly in the browser, streamlining backend development and data management without requiring extensive infrastructure setup.
Developers and teams building applications on Firebase and Google Cloud Platform who need a visual, efficient way to manage database content and automate backend processes.
Rowy offers a unique combination of a familiar spreadsheet UI for database management with integrated low-code cloud function automation, all while keeping data and functions securely within the user's own GCP project, providing control and flexibility.

Provides a spreadsheet-like interface for CRUD operations, bulk import/export in CSV/JSON, and multiple views, making database administration intuitive. Evidence from README: 'CRUD operations, bulk import or export data - csv, json, tsv' and 'Multiple views for the same collection.'
Enables building cloud functions triggered by data changes using NPM modules or pre-built extensions for services like SendGrid and Algolia. Evidence: 'Build cloud functions workflows on field level data changes' and 'Connect to your favourite tool with pre-built code blocks.'
Includes over 30 field types such as custom UI pickers, uploaders, and rich editors, offering flexibility in data handling. Evidence: '30+ fields supported' with examples like Date, Image, JSON, and Markdown.
Offers granular role-based permissions and customizable views for different user roles, facilitating team collaboration. Evidence: 'Granular table-level and field-level permission control with role based access controls' from the README.
Rowy is tightly coupled with Firebase and Google Cloud Platform, making it unsuitable for projects on other cloud providers or databases. Evidence: Setup requires a GCP project, and data stays exclusively within GCP infrastructure.
The spreadsheet interface and cloud function layer may introduce latency compared to direct database access, which could impact high-volume or real-time applications. This is implied from the low-code architecture and visual management layer.
Only supports Firestore databases, so it cannot be used with other systems like PostgreSQL or MongoDB, restricting its applicability. Evidence: The platform is centered around Firestore management, as stated in the features.
