Airtable As A Backend

From the archive · 1 min read

An older post brought over from my previous site. Some formatting from the original didn't survive the move.

Airtable is slowly becoming my new favorite service. It is had to recommend another piece of productivity software as there are a million already but Airtable is something that is unquote and worth looking at getting into your workflow. Airtables has a very simple API that can help you prototype your app idea and store text for you. It can also help you build a data structure that is going to feed into your app as well.

There are a lot of use cases for your app in prototyping and developing ideas. But, there are still some good uses cases to use as long as you use a serverless function to hide your API key. You can use it as a quick database to make a get request from and full out your application.
