Airtable-as-a-Database is absolutely delightful. It comes with an advanced admin back-end for other team members to view and manage data. For many apps, instead of starting with RDBMS tables, I consider Airtable and strategically move to an RDBMS where Airtable doesn't scale (organizationally, latency, security, row-count, etc.)

I've most recently built https://design.org using Airtable. I think it's performant and rock solid. It saved some initial development time, but the benefits have kept coming.

What does Airtable give you over gsheets for you? I use gsheets but I am interested.
The primary feature is true table-to-table relationships that mimic an RDMS.
