Baserow | Product Specialist | REMOTE (Europe or US) | Full-time | baserow.io
Baserow is an open-source no-code database platform (Airtable alternative) for building databases, internal apps, and workflows.
You’ll work with prospects + customers to translate real processes into Baserow solutions: data modeling (tables/relations), demos/POCs, production-ready setups, integrations/APIs, best practices, and feedback to product/engineering. Also help with docs/onboarding and first-line support for support-contract customers.
You: 2+ years with Baserow or similar (Airtable/n8n), strong English, comfortable with APIs/HTTP + basic JS/Python (SQL a plus). Bonus: enterprise workflows, git/docker (self-hosting), training content.
Founder of Baserow here. Thanks for posting this @trevorsullivan. We launched Baserow 2.0 earlier this week. More info can be found in the release blog post here: https://baserow.io/blog/baserow-2-0-release-notes. Happy to answer any questions.
Hey HN, founder of Baserow here. Since our success on Hacker News a couple of years ago, we've grown from a no-code database into a full-stack no-code platform. It's now possible to create databases, applications, automations, and dashboards via the no-code interface and with Kuma, our AI-assistant.
We believe in a platform with a conversational agent that can build complete software solutions, like Lovable, while also having a flexible no-code interface to make changes manually. This gives the builder the opportunity to get started quickly, have insights in what happens under the hood, and have the ability to make changes, without writing code.
Because of our open background, full self-hosting capability, API-first approach, integrations, and enterprise grade security, it makes modern no-code tools accessible to industries that were previously forced to work with expensive off the shelf solution with long implementation time.
Today, we're launching Baserow 2.0 that introduces our AI-assistant Kuma, automations builder, improved AI field, and many more features. We're looking forward to your feedback.
You can do this soon with Baserow. We're currently working on view-level permissions, where you can give a user access to a specific view. That user will then only have access to the filtered rows and visible fields.
When I started working on Baserow (this seems similar based on the roadmap), a couple of years ago, I thought it would be a big challenge to quickly render a million rows in the browser. Introducing a system that fetches a page of rows based on the scroll offset, and with a small debounce did the trick. We only had a couple of field types, and it was all incredibly fast
The thing that make performance complicated for a no-code database is when you have 30 interconnected tables, some tables with 200 fields, containing many formulas or other computed fields like lookups or rollups. Updating a single cell, can result in thousands of other rows that must be updated across different tables. If there are 30 users making constant changes, locking PostgreSQL rows under the hood while the formulas are recalculated, and then a couple of n8n workflows making a many API requests to those tables, that's when things get interesting. Especially in combination with features like webhooks, real-time updates, 100+ filters, grouping, 26 field types, date dependencies, aggregations, importing/exporting whole databases.
When implementing a new feature, I've heard users say that's not complicated because it's just adding a checkbox. Making to run it at scale and keeping things performant is what's making it complicated.
Founder of Baserow here. We're actively working on improving that. We recently introduced the data sync feature that allows you to sync data from various sources into a Baserow table. One of the integrations is a PostgreSQL table, and we have MySQL and SQLite on the planning as well. Currently, it's a one-way sync, but we're planning on making it a two-way sync in this quarter.
Hey, I'm one of the founders of Baserow. We launched the beta of our application builder last week. It allows you to build database-driven websites, web applications, and portals. It's in the same product as our database module, and will work seamlessly together with it. More information can be found in the release blog post linked to this post, and in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjE7gxkPlDs. Even though it's in an early state, it's already possible to try it out on https://baserow.io or by self-hosting the latest version. Happy to answer all the questions you might have.
What are the main differences compared to Baserow (https://baserow.io/)?
If you're looking for a performant no-code database, you might want to try Baserow. It's made to scale, and can handle 1M+ rows with 15+ fields. More information about this topic can be found in our 1.17 release blog post here https://baserow.io/blog/1-17-release-of-baserow. Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Baserow.
It seems like they literally use the content from the Baserow website on their homepage. "Create your own online database without technical experience. Our user friendly no-code tool gives you the powers of a developer without leaving your browser."

Some of our users are using Baserow for time tracking. It can be self-hosted, and you can create a data structure that fits your needs. You can for example create a projects table containing all the projects you're working on. Then create a time table with a relationship to the projects, a numeric "hours spend" field and a description field. Every time you worked on a project, you just add a time entry. You can also share worked hours with your clients.

We offer many ways of self hosting, but most of the solutions are indeed Docker based. It makes it easier for us to roll out updates that way. We also have a deprecated, but still working, guide how you can install Baserow step by step on Ubuntu without using Docker. https://baserow.io/docs/installation/old-install-on-ubuntu
Founder of Baserow here. Exporting to XML and JSON are the first features that we're going to move into the free plan of Baserow as soon as we have new premium features to replace them with.
Thank you for the update! We already have our workers working, it was super easy to set it up. I can confirm that the pipeline minutes have been added to my account.
Thanks for forwarding my comment, it's much appreciated! I opened a ticket a while ago ago, I'll add this comment to the conversation. We're working on setting up our runners in the meantime.
Is anyone also experiencing problems with purchasing additional CI minutes? I bought extra minutes yesterday and this morning, but they've not been added to my account. Before this worked instantly. It's blocking some of the development processes for us because the pipelines don't run right now, we've ran out of minutes. I'm curious whether it's related to splitting the database.
If anyone from GitLab is reading this, it's for the public repository of Baserow https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow. Help would be much appreciated.
You might want to try out Baserow (https://baserow.io). It’s an open source alternative to Airtable, backed by a PostgreSQL database. Main differences are that you can self host it with unlimited rows, it’s modular and it’s made to handle high volumes of data.

Baserow founder here. Excited to inform you that we released version 1.6 of Baserow today and that includes the formula field.
Hi, Rowy seems like an interesting product! I'll definitely try it out. Is it related to firetable (https://firetable.io/) by any chance? I see similarities in the interface and both can connect to firestore.
Disclaimer, I’m the founder of Baserow. Airtable is a fantastic product, but it’s also limited in the amount of records that you can store. Their enterprise plan supports a maximum of 100k records in your entire database. Another problem is that you don’t own your data because it’s a SaaS product and if you want to create an integration, you can only do so via their API which limits you in the amount of requests you can make per second. We wanted to solve these problems by building a turn-key open source no-code database tool that you can self host with a comparable user experience to Airtable. We have a different technical approach that allows you to store a lot of data while staying performant. Another nice advantage is that our code architecture is modular, that means you can create real custom plugins. You can create custom field types of visualize data in a different way by creating custom view types. Everything can be extended.
