Deploy

Deploy with docker

cd dockers/examples/standalone/
docker-compose up -d

for more details, see dockers/examples

Deploy with Railway

Development

1. Initialize

# Use `.nvmrc` file to specify node version（Requires pre `nvm` tools）
nvm install && nvm use

# Enabling the Help Management Package Manager
corepack enable

# Install project dependencies
pnpm install

# Build packages
pnpm g:build

2. Select Database

we currently support sqlite and postgres, you can switch between them by running the following command

make switch-db-mode

3. Custom environment variables（optional）

cd apps/nextjs-app
copy .env.development .env.development.local

4. Run dev server

you just need to start backend, it will start next server for frontend automatically, file change will be auto reload

cd apps/nestjs-backend
pnpm dev

Why Teable?

No-code tools have significantly speed up how we get things done, allowing non-tech users to build amazing apps and changing the way many work and live. People like using spreadsheet-like UI to handle their data because it's easy, flexible, and great for team collaboration. They also prefer designing their app screens without being stuck with clunky templates.

Giving non-techy people the ability to create their software sounds exciting. But that's just the start:

• As businesses expand, their data needs intensify. No one wishes to hear that once their orders reach 100k, they'll outgrow their current interface. Yet, many no-code platforms falter at such scales.
• Most no-code platforms are cloud-based. This means your important data sits with the provider, and switching to another platform can be a headache.
• Sometimes, no-code tools can't do what you want because of their limitations, leaving users stuck.
• If a tool becomes essential, you'll eventually need some tech expertise. But developers often find these platforms tricky.
• Maintaining systems with complex setups can be hard for developers, especially if these aren't built using common software standards.
• Systems that don't use these standards might need revamping or replacing, costing more in the long run. It might even mean ditching the no-code route and going back to traditional coding.

What we think the future of no-code products look like

• An interface that anyone can use to build applications easily.
• Easy access to data, letting users grab, move, and reuse their information as they wish.
• Data privacy and choice, whether that's in the cloud, on-premise, or even just on your local.
• It needs to work for developers too, not just non-tech users.
• It should handle lots of data, so it can grow with your business.
• Flexibility to integrate with other software, combining strengths to get the job done.
• Last, native AI integration to takes usability to the next level.

In essence, Teable isn't just another no-code solution, it's a comprehensive answer to the evolving demands of modern software development, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their technical proficiency, has a platform tailored to their needs.
