Hey Product Hunt community - Iā€™m Sikan, one of the engineers who built Retool Database. Spreadsheets are often used as ā€œPoor manā€™s Databasesā€ - they are quick to get started, but fall apart when you need data integrity, validation, and the ability to query/ filter data. Thatā€™s why we built Retool Database - you get the power of Postgres with the getting started speed of a spreadsheet. No setup required. You can create and edit tables, columns, and rows quickly without writing SQL. You should be able to get the same speed of iteration as spreadsheets, but you are also starting from the get-go using a tool thatā€™s much better suited for app development. It can handle the increasing complexity of your data and scale much better with app development - You also donā€™t need to worry about migrating from a sheet to a proper database later. Some feature highlights: šŸ”Œ Get started by connecting your data: Upload CSVs, ingest data from 3rd party-APIs, and add data through your custom Retool apps. šŸ–± Edit with the ease of a spreadsheet: Rapidly build out your schema with a spreadsheet-like UI. Add tables, columns, and fields in a few clicks. Scan and manage your data through filtering, sorting, searching, and editing directly. āš” Postgres all the way down: You get all the features that come with a regular Postgres database - Writing complex SQL queries, rich data types, data validation, foreign keys, and more. šŸš¢ Ship schema changes safely across multiple environments: We have environment support built-in, which means you get isolated databases for each environment you create. On top of that, we also provide a GUI for doing Schema migration between those environments. šŸŒ Connection strings: We provide you with Postgres connection strings so you can connect to the database and interact the with data you store in Retool Database externally. Let us know what you think below. Weā€™ve made it easy to get started today with 5GB of free data storage for anyone who creates an account.

@sikanhe šŸ‘‹ Hi Sikan! Retool Database sounds like a great tool for app development - I love the idea of getting the speed of iteration of a spreadsheet with the power of Postgres. šŸš€

Looks awesome! How do foreign keys and backups work?

@agamm Hi Agam, great questions 1. Foreign key - When you create a field you can choose the "Foreign key" data type , and from there you can pick the foreign table + column you want this field to link to. 2. Backups - We do backups internally and can provide them upon request. Additionally you can use our connection string feature to retrieve database dumps using `psql` very easily as well!

@sikanhe Awesome! Does it tie into the existing retool versions (staging and production features)?

@sikanhe @agamm Yes it does! Retool Database is configured for all of your environments and you can migrate schemas between environments -- see more here: https://docs.retool.com/docs/ret...
