Origin Story

By Naveen Rudrappa

The Problem

Airtable was powerful but closed-source, expensive at scale, and couldn't connect to existing databases. Needed an open alternative.

Building It

Launched in 2021. Quickly grew to 40K+ GitHub stars, becoming one of the most popular open-source Airtable alternatives.

What It Means

Your data, your database, your rules. NocoDB puts a beautiful no-code interface on top of databases you already own.

The Dream

To be the open-source standard for no-code database applications.
