@arth_tyagi Thank you, appreciate the support! I'm finding that our users get the most value from:
1. Interacting with their DB through Airtable, which is easier to click around with than e.g. pgAdmin
2. Using Airtable as a read-only tool for their team: instead of exporting data from Postgres or using BI tools, just connect to Airtable and set up a dashboard in 5 minutes
3. Pulling data that lands in Airtable (e.g., from Airtable Forms) into Postgres in real-time so that any part of the stack reliant on Postgres (e.g., a customer-facing site) is automatically updated
Hey Product Hunt, Kunal from Palette here! I built Palette because I've worked with many teams that:
1. Struggled to access the production data they needed because of engineering bottlenecks,
2. Preferred using Airtable over internal tools,
3. Wished they had an easier way to simply see customer & product data in real-time
In a nutshell, they wanted the amazing user experience that Airtable has to offer, while getting access to all of the data and features that come with a true backend database. *Enter Palette!*
Palette gives you the best of both worlds with Airtable and Postgres. How? We connect your Airtable and Postgres database to sync data both ways in real time.
Why is this better?
Postgres is a scalable backend that companies need, but isn’t built for business teams with no technical background — who often rely on engineers to get data for them.
Airtable is one of the best no-code tools out there with forms, dashboards, automations, and great aesthetics, but it has a bunch of constraints (e.g. row limits, can’t put unique constraints on any column, harder to integrate it with your tech stack).
Tl;dr: you leverage the scalability and performance of Postgres *and* the usability and smooth UX of Airtable.
We’re already live with a range of companies and are super excited to open our doors to the Product Hunt community. Let us know what you think down below, we’d love to hear your thoughts and and answer any questions!
Happy syncing,
Kunal
