Rowy

Rowy | Low-code backend on Google Cloud and Firebase is a low-code/no-code platform that lets you manage your database with a spreadsheet-like UI and build powerful backend cloud functions without leaving your browser. It runs on your existing cloud project, supports extensive field types, and enables you to write backend logic directly alongside your data. Rowy emphasizes speed, collaboration, and extensibility, allowing teams to iterate quickly while maintaining control over access and data validation.

How Rowy Works

1. Visual data management: Access and edit your cloud database through a familiar spreadsheet-like interface. Over 30 field types are supported, and data stays in your cloud project.
2. Backend logic on the same screen: Write and run backend code, use npm packages, and call external APIs directly from Rowy without switching contexts.
3. Automation and integrations: Create automations triggered by data changes, call external services via webhooks and extensions, and push data to external systems.
4. Open, collaborative, and secure: Rowy is open-source, supports auditing and field-level access controls, and lets teams collaborate on a single source of truth.
5. Templates and extendability: Start with backend templates and extend capabilities with code, integrations, and AI-assisted features (e.g., Google Vision and GPT-3 templates).
