Thanks for the shoutout (NocoDB founder here). Rowy demo looks good. Would love to try it.

NocoDB works differently than rowy, we transform ANY existing MySQL/Postgres/SQLite into Airtable like spreadsheet.

Docker : docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb

Thank you NocoDB for supporting mysql, so I don't have to maintain another type of database and mysql is easy to sync to our analytics

Thank you, what analytics are you using with mysql ?

Here's our stack:

RDS MySQL (our production apps, nocodb) -> Alibaba DTS -> Alibaba AnalyticDB for MySQL

it's realtime & easy to setup, operate, and maintain

don't have to create a separate postgresql instance, unlike Baserow

The screenshots look to me like half smart spreadsheet, half automagic admin ui on steroids. And I mean this positively, that's really rather impressive looking.
