Rowy

Rowy is a low-code backend platform built specifically for Firebase and Google Cloud Platform. It transforms your Firestore database into an easy-to-use spreadsheet interface that anyone can understand and work with.

Unlike traditional database tools, Rowy lets you manage your data visually while writing backend logic right on the same screen. You can create cloud functions, set up webhooks, and build complex workflows without switching between different tools or learning complicated commands.

The platform is completely open-source and connects directly to your own Firebase project. This means your data stays secure on your Google Cloud account while you get powerful collaboration features. Teams love Rowy because developers can build advanced features while non-technical members can safely manage content and data through the familiar spreadsheet interface.

Getting started with Rowy is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. First, visit rowy.io and click the deploy button to set up Rowy on your Google Cloud project. The setup process creates a secure connection to your Firebase/Firestore database without storing any data on Rowy's servers.
