## What it is
NocoDB is a free, self-hostable Airtable alternative that turns any Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite database into a smart spreadsheet with a rich web UI. It provides grid, kanban, gallery, form, and calendar views plus automatically generated REST APIs over your data.

## Use cases
- self-host an airtable alternative
- turn my postgres database into a spreadsheet
- build a no-code internal tool or CRM
- generate REST APIs from existing database tables
- manage data with kanban and form views without coding
- replace airtable for privacy-sensitive data
- create a shared team database with forms

## When to choose
- you want an Airtable-like experience but must keep data on your own infrastructure
- you already have a Postgres/MySQL database and want a spreadsheet UI and APIs on top of it
- you need no-code database apps for non-technical teams
- you want automatic REST APIs and swagger docs for your data

## When to avoid
- you need deeply programmatic, code-first database workflows rather than a GUI
- you require heavy transactional integrity or complex SQL logic that a spreadsheet UI obscures
- you need a fully permissive open-source license (NocoDB uses a non-standard license)
- you need massive-scale analytics workloads better served by a data warehouse
