## What it is
Rowy is an open-source low-code backend platform for Firebase and Google Cloud that provides an Airtable-like spreadsheet UI for managing Firestore data. It also lets users build cloud functions workflows in JavaScript/TypeScript directly from the browser, with 30+ field types and integrations with services like SendGrid, Algolia, and Twilio.

## Use cases
- manage firestore database with a spreadsheet ui
- build a cms for firebase backend
- create cloud function automations without leaving the browser
- import csv or json data into firestore in bulk
- build internal tools on google cloud without heavy coding
- replace airtable with data on your own cloud project
- trigger webhooks and third-party apis on data changes

## When to choose
- you use Firebase/Firestore or Google Cloud and want a no-code/low-code admin and backend layer
- you want an Airtable-like experience while keeping data on your own cloud project
- you need to mix no-code convenience with custom JS/TS cloud functions and any npm package

## When to avoid
- your backend is not on Firebase or Google Cloud Platform
- you need a fully code-first infrastructure-as-code approach rather than browser-based tooling
- you require a non-Firestore database like Postgres or MongoDB
