Rowy — No-Code & Automation

What is Rowy?

Rowy is a low-code backend platform that combines a spreadsheet-like interface with powerful cloud functions. It connects directly to your own Google Cloud or Firebase project, letting you view, edit, and manage database tables as easily as a spreadsheet, while also writing backend logic — all in one browser-based workspace.

Who is it for?

Rowy is designed for developers and product builders who want to ship faster without sacrificing flexibility. It's ideal for early-stage startups, indie hackers, and teams building SaaS products that need a scalable backend on Google Cloud or Firebase. If you need full control over your infrastructure but want to skip boilerplate setup and database management overhead, Rowy fits. It is not designed for non-technical users who expect a fully no-code visual builder with no coding required.

Key use cases

Rowy excels at managing backend workflows: automate tasks when data changes (e.g., send a Slack notification on new user signup), calculate derivative field values, trigger webhooks from Typeform or SendGrid, and build REST APIs. Teams use it to manage CMS content, user permissions, and model training data — all with audit logs and role-based access control.

• Spreadsheet UI for your database — View and edit Firestore/Firebase data in a familiar table interface with 30+ column types.
• Cloud Functions built-in — Write and deploy backend logic on the same screen, using any npm package or API.
• Automations and workflows — Trigger actions on data changes, run scheduled jobs, or receive webhooks from external services.
• Unlimited team members & cloud functions — Collaborate without limits, at no extra cost on the free plan.
• Import/export data — Bring data from CSV, TSV, JSON, or Airtable (with realtime sync coming).
• Open-source & self-hostable — Code is open; you can self-host on your own GCP project for full control.
