Baserow
Airtable's spreadsheet-database model, self-hostable and open-source: that is Baserow. It
presents data in a spreadsheet-style grid, but underneath each table is a real relational
structure with typed fields, links between tables, filters, sorts, and multiple views (grid,
gallery, form, kanban, calendar). Beyond the database core, it includes an application builder
for composing pages and portals on your data, workflow automations, and dashboards. Everything
is API-first: each table exposes a REST endpoint with token auth and webhooks, so it plugs
directly into n8n, Zapier, or custom scripts. The stack is Django (Python) on the backend,
Vue.js on the frontend, PostgreSQL for storage, with Redis for async tasks. Core features are
MIT-licensed; premium features are a paid add-on. The self-hosted version has no row, storage,
or API request limits - Airtable's per-base record caps and monthly API quotas simply don't
exist here, and capacity is bounded only by your PostgreSQL database and disk. Existing
Airtable bases, CSVs, and Excel files import directly with structure preserved, so migration
doesn't start from a blank slate, and both the backend and frontend support plugins for custom
field types and integrations without forking the core. For non-technical teammates the
interface behaves like a spreadsheet; for engineers, the data model is the API.
