The product looks cool but i seriously doubt if something like this can fly in any of our production services where changes can be made directly to a production database without an audit trail. Even the example on the website where the account credit is being increased is something that I've yet to see in a production system. To safely use it on a production system internally it would have to be deployed on premise.
In addition to that, the TOS clearly wash their hands if something goes wrong. I use airtable extensively in my personal projects and at work which seems to work fine.
One more thing i observed about the company structure is that they're based in Delaware in a virtual office. Now, i know that as startups go, this isn't unheard of but trying to get this past legal would be nightmare.
Congratulations on the launch though.
- maxmusing 6y agoWe have edit history which acts as an audit trail for changes; view logs are coming soon too. We offer on-prem, and expect a good portion of SMBs to use it over our cloud version. Good catch on the virtual office! We're actually based in Canada, that's our US company's legal address.
- pratio 6y agoI have several clients that are startups and i usually recommend them JetBrains Datagrip which has yet to disappoint. It also makes it easier to access the databases directly behind a VPN. Is there a limit to the number of databases a single user can access on a startup license? The reason i am asking this is that even a small startup can have multiple databases in production. A single license of DataGrip might sound more beneficial in that case.
