After seeing the huge response to our recent launch of being able to build full-stack Node, React and Eleventy sites instantly, we were super motivated to make it easy to do the same thing but backed by real databases. We picked Airtable because it's a super easy way to manage data entry, SQLite because it's a "real" SQL database without a lot of management overhead, and DataStax Astra so that anyone could have the full power of a Cassandra database without any of the setup. Really excited to see what the PH community thinks!

Ahh, this is just the thing i was looking for, great job guys !! I have one question - what are the sizes of the DB storage your provide in both of your pricing plans ??

@fahmebn Thanks for the kind words, and the great question! We do not separate data storage from the rest of the app's disk space allowance - free apps get 200MB and Pro accounts can boost up to 5 apps to give them 400MB of disk space in total. You can see more of what Pro accounts offer in our Help Center here: https://help.glitch.com/kb/artic...

@fahmebn what @jenn_schiffer said, plus the Astra databases from DataStax can be up to _40 GB_ in the free tier. It’s pretty amazing.
