What is it?

Baserow is a no-code platform for organizing data in a spreadsheet-like interface that behaves like a relational database. Users can build tables, define fields and views such as grid, form, kanban and gallery, then connect them to applications, automations and dashboards without writing code.

The project offers both a hosted cloud service and a self-hosted deployment, installable via Docker, Docker Compose, Helm, or on platforms such as Heroku, Render, AWS and Railway. It is API-first, exposing a REST API with an OpenAPI schema, and is built on Django, Vue.js and PostgreSQL. Its core is open-core under the MIT license, with premium and enterprise features separated out.

Baserow includes a built-in AI assistant, Kuma, that can create databases and workflows from natural language prompts. It is positioned as a replacement for Airtable, with the stated aim of full data ownership and no vendor lock-in.
