Rowy: Open-source Airtable alternative on Google Cloud

Re:Rowy: Open-source Airtable alternative on Google Cloud by thecleaner on Tuesday October 05, 2021 @11:37AM (#28760899)

Some questions:

- How many rows you can render in one session ?

- Can too many writes lead to DB throttling ?

- The frontend seems snappy. How will response time behave as more rows are added ? What will happen with 10 collaborators on a 1million x 20 table.

- We only fetch the rows of data as you keep scrolling and render only what you see on screen.

- Since we are built on Firestore database, it is the same DB throttling as what Firestore provides which is 10MB IOPS

- Since we only render what you see on the screen, the UI is very responsive and so can continue can scale.

I assume the table only renders what is visible, doesn't render everything.
