Where a point solution breaks
- These tools are genuinely great databases for a team, not a system that scales to production application traffic
- Complex relational logic and permissions eventually outgrow what a spreadsheet-database hybrid was designed for
- API access is usually rate-limited in ways that make them unsuitable as a backend for anything customer-facing
Airtable-style tools are excellent for internal operations. An embedded engineer knows when a workflow has outgrown one and can rebuild it as a real database and backend without losing the parts that were working.
