Airtable looks great, but seems incredibly expensive at $10-40 / user. There are a lot of situations where pricing like this makes no sense, e.g., if you want every employee to have access to your data, but most of them only check or

"Aggressive" validation seems to be a part of most libraries for helping people implement GraphQL, so I don't think this is a real issue. I'm assuming you mean stuff like max nodes, max depth, max page size, etc.
