Baserow

Baserow is a spreadsheet and database hybrid that grows into applications. A team starts by structuring data in a familiar grid, then adds the internal tools, workflows and dashboards that would otherwise be a separate build, and none of it requires code.

The stack is Django, Vue.js and PostgreSQL. The platform is headless and API first, with published documentation and an OpenAPI schema, and a built-in AI assistant named Kuma creates databases and workflows from natural language.

Several building blocks sit on top of the underlying tables.

• Applications: create portals and apps, then publish them on your own domain.
• Automations: run repetitive workflows without manual steps.
• Dashboards: visualize what the tables hold.
• Multiple views: work with records as grids, kanban boards or forms.
• Compliance: the project reports GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

One Docker command with a mounted data volume runs the whole thing, and guides cover Helm, Docker Compose, Heroku, Render, DigitalOcean, AWS, Cloudron, Railway and Elestio, with no storage restrictions when self-hosted. Everything outside the premium and enterprise tiers carries the MIT license, allowing commercial and private use. Note that the project moved from GitLab to GitHub, and while issues came across, merged and closed merge requests did not.
