Rowy

Rowy is an open-source low-code backend platform that puts an Airtable-like spreadsheet UI on top of Google Cloud Firestore, with JavaScript/TypeScript Cloud Functions, column automations, and webhooks. It is primarily a UI plus a Firebase/GCP framework deployed into the user's own project; its main inbound API surface is per-table webhooks running on Cloud Run, alongside Rowy Run backend services and the underlying Firestore data store accessed via the Firebase SDK.

Rowy publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Webhooks, Run / Cloud Functions, and Firestore Data. Tagged areas include Low-Code, Backend, Firestore, Firebase, and Webhooks.

Rowy’s developer surface includes documentation and 7 more developer resources.
