Baserow
Create your own database without technical experience (alternative to Airtable).
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.
Activity data
Not available for this project. Our source collects commit history from GitHub only, and Baserow is developed elsewhere.

Is Baserow actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Baserow is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at gitlab.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Baserow actually does
Baserow is a self-hosted database management tool that allows you to build relational databases and interfaces through a spreadsheet-like interface. It functions as an open-source alternative to proprietary cloud platforms like Airtable. You can organise, query, and collaborate on structured data without writing traditional database code.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you want to replace cloud-based spreadsheet databases with an on-premise solution under an MIT licence.
Worth knowing: You should verify its active maintenance and update cadence before relying on it for critical production workloads, as activity metrics can vary.
Deployment notes
Because it runs via Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for data storage and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
