Rowy
Rowy is a low-code backend platform for Firebase that provides a NoSQL spreadsheet interface for managing databases and deploying cloud functions. It functions as a cloud function workflow orchestrator and a database management tool that presents collections as editable grids for visual record editing and bulk data manipulation.
The platform distinguishes itself by allowing users to trigger custom server-side scripts and business logic based on database changes and external events. It includes a role-based access control system for defining specific permissions for database collections, individual fields, and stored files.
The system covers broader capabilities including automated data workflows, custom backend API construction, and visual database management. Users can define rich data fields and manage user profile settings to restrict record updates to authenticated owners.
