No-Code database platform # NocoDB: a visual interface for database workflows NocoDB provides spreadsheet-style views, forms, and APIs for supported databases. Available features depend on the version, permissions, and connected data source. [Get started](https://panel.deplomo.com/signup)[Back to marketplace](/marketplace) ## NocoDB deployment considerations An Airtable-style interface, automatic APIs, database connections and fixed monthly package limits. ### Connect to relational databases NocoDB connects to supported data sources such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQL Server. Check version and driver compatibility. ### Spreadsheet-style data interface Depending on the connected database and NocoDB version, users can view, filter, group, and sort data in grid, gallery, form, Kanban, or calendar views. ### Automated REST and GraphQL API generation NocoDB can generate API endpoints for connected data. Available API types, validation, and documentation depend on version and configuration. ### Roles and access controls NocoDB access controls vary by version and plan. Review role permissions and test access before sharing sensitive data. ## Frequently asked questions about NocoDB Answers to common questions about visual data management, database connections, and NocoDB: What is NocoDB, and how is it used for data management? How does NocoDB compare with Airtable? What is a no-code database interface? Does NocoDB change the structure of an existing database? What should I consider when deploying NocoDB on Deplomo Cloud? ## NocoDB: visual data management for supported databases NocoDB provides a spreadsheet-style interface for supported databases. Access controls and collaboration features depend on the version, configuration, and permissions you set. ### What is NocoDB, and how does it compare with Airtable? NocoDB is an open-source interface for supported databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL. It can be self-hosted, so data location depends on your deployment. Compare features, access controls, operating costs, and requirements with Airtable before choosing. Connect NocoDB to a supported database from [Cloud database](/products/databases) . If your workflow requires a document database, [Host mongodb](/marketplace/apps/mongodb) may complement the relational database, depending on NocoDB’s supported features. ### NocoDB setup and maintenance options Self-hosting NocoDB involves managing the application runtime, database connections, network access, updates, and backups. Requirements depend on your deployment and NocoDB version. A container deployment can simplify some setup steps. Review persistent storage, network access, domain and TLS options, and backup responsibilities for your service. International service creation is currently paused. ### NocoDB compared with Airtable and spreadsheets Compare data location, record limits, API access, collaboration features, licensing, and backup responsibilities.

NocoDB is one option for working with supported databases through a visual interface. Compare its features, operating requirements, and costs with your team’s needs. ### Planning NocoDB database connections Review the application version, database support, package limits, and current service status before deployment. - **Check service availability:** When international service creation is available, choose a compatible NocoDB image. - **Plan resources and database access:** Estimate CPU and memory within your package limits. Configure a supported database connection with appropriately scoped credentials. - **Configure the service:** Review the service endpoint, domain, TLS, and access settings for your deployment. - **Create views and manage data:** After deployment, sign in with the configured account and use the views available for your connected database. ### NocoDB deployment requirements NocoDB can provide a visual interface for supported databases. Data access and security depend on the deployment, database permissions, and account configuration. Review NocoDB’s supported features, package limits, and current service availability. ## Plan a NocoDB deployment NocoDB deployment and persistent storage depend on the service configuration. Check current availability, image version, and resource limits before planning setup. [NocoDB setup](https://panel.deplomo.com/signup)
