I’m creating a Proof of Concept app and need a database to build on top of.
What is a cheap and simple option to create a cloud hosted database that Retool can connect to directly?
I understand relational databases and have some SQL knowledge.
Thought about that, but there are quite some relations and entities in the data model, and I think using an actual database instead of a spreadsheet will better support that complexity.
Also there's no native Airtable integration and I'd have to work through Sequin.io.
i personally use supabase for my postgresql db, they have a free version Pricing & fees | Supabase, for my project is enough, if you need more then you can buy another package or just use the retool DB
pd: im not sure of the limits of own retool db, as its in beta maybe @victoria@Kabirdas can give us more info
great minds think alike and apparently almost exactly at the same time, too :-))
Supabase looks very interesting and I think their free tier will suit me fine for now.
I'll give it a few days to see if my request for retool db beta is noticed ...
