BASEROW AGENCY: BUILD YOUR DATABASE WITHOUT VENDOR LOCK-IN

Hack'celeration is a Baserow agency that helps you build custom databases and internal tools without depending on proprietary platforms. We master Baserow's open-source power and know how to leverage it for your business.

We create relational databases with advanced views, automated workflows, API integrations, and custom interfaces. Whether you need a CRM, inventory management, project tracker, or any data-driven system, we build it on Baserow with a clean architecture.

We work with SMEs wanting data sovereignty, startups building internal tools fast, and companies migrating from Airtable who want more control over their stack. We also help larger organizations that need self-hosted solutions for compliance reasons.

Our approach is simple: understand your need, build something that works, and make sure you can use it without us. No fluff, no endless meetings. Just a system that does the job.

Why partner
with a Baserow agency?

Because a Baserow agency can transform scattered spreadsheets and manual processes into a structured, automated system you actually own.

Baserow is powerful, but getting it right requires understanding database architecture, API integrations, and workflow automation. Most people start with basic tables and quickly hit walls when they need relationships, formulas, or connections to other tools.

Here's what we bring you:

Custom database architecture → We design relational structures with linked rows, lookup fields, and formulas that make sense for your business logic. No messy spreadsheets.

Self-hosting setup → We deploy Baserow on your infrastructure (AWS, DigitalOcean, your own servers) so you keep full control over your data. We handle SSL, backups, and security.

Workflow automation → We configure Baserow's native automations and connect them to Make, n8n, or Zapier to trigger actions across your stack.

API integrations → We connect Baserow to your CRM, e-commerce platform, accounting software, or any tool with an API. Real-time sync, no manual exports.

Team interfaces → We build custom views, filters, and permissions so each team sees exactly what they need.

Whether you're starting from scratch or migrating from Airtable, we help you build a system that scales without locking you into expensive subscriptions.

Our approach

Our methodology
for Baserow Agency.

STEP 1: AUDIT AND SCOPING

We start by understanding what you actually need and auditing your current setup.

We map your existing data sources (spreadsheets, tools, manual processes) and identify what needs to be centralized.

We define the relationships between your data entities and the workflows you want to automate.

We evaluate whether cloud-hosted or self-hosted Baserow makes sense for your situation (data sensitivity, volume, budget).

At the end of this step, you have a clear scope document with database architecture, integration requirements, and a realistic timeline.

STEP 2: DATABASE ARCHITECTURE

We design your database structure with proper relational logic.

We create tables with appropriate field types (text, numbers, dates, single/multiple select, linked rows, formulas, lookups).

We set up relationships between tables using linked rows and configure rollup fields for aggregations.

We build views for different use cases: grids, galleries, forms, kanban boards. Each view gets its own filters, sorts, and groupings.

At the end of this step, you have a functional database architecture ready for data import and automation setup.

STEP 3: INTEGRATIONS AND AUTOMATIONS

We connect Baserow to your existing stack and automate repetitive tasks.

We configure Baserow’s native automations (triggers on row creation, updates, conditions) for internal workflows.

We set up webhooks to send real-time events to external systems when data changes.

We build API integrations with Make, n8n, or direct API calls to sync Baserow with your CRM, e-commerce platform, Slack, or any other tool.

At the end of this step, your data flows automatically between systems without manual intervention.

STEP 4: SELF-HOSTING SETUP (IF NEEDED)

For clients who need data sovereignty, we deploy Baserow on your infrastructure.

We set up the server environment (Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis) on your preferred cloud provider or on-premise servers.

We configure SSL certificates, domain mapping, and secure access with authentication.

We implement backup strategies and monitoring to ensure your instance stays healthy.

At the end of this step, you have a production-ready Baserow instance that you fully control.

STEP 5: PERMISSIONS AND INTERFACES

We configure access controls and build interfaces adapted to each team.

We set up row-level permissions so users only see and edit data relevant to their role.

We create team-specific views with pre-configured filters and hidden fields to simplify their workflow.

We build forms for data entry by external users or team members who don’t need full database access.

At the end of this step, each person has a clean interface that shows exactly what they need.

STEP 6: TRAINING AND HANDOVER

We make sure you can use and maintain the system without us.

We train your team on daily usage: adding data, using views, running reports.

We provide documentation covering the database structure, automations, and common modifications.

We do a handover session where we explain the architecture decisions and how to extend it.

At the end of this step, you’re autonomous. We stay available for questions and can help with future evolutions if needed.

Frequently asked questions

01How much does it cost?+
We start from 500$ for an audit and scoping session. Then the budget depends on your project complexity: a simple database with basic automations starts around 2,000$, while a complete self-hosted setup with multiple integrations and custom workflows can range from 5,000$ to 15,000$+. We give you a clear quote after understanding your exact needs.
02How long does it take?+
It depends on the scope. A simple database with a few tables and views: 1-2 weeks. A complete system with integrations and automations: 3-6 weeks. Self-hosted deployment adds about 1 week. We give you a precise timeline after the audit, and we stick to it.
03What support do you offer after delivery?+
Yes, we don't disappear after handover. We train your team, provide technical documentation, and stay available for questions via email or Slack. If you want ongoing support for evolutions, maintenance, or new integrations, we offer monthly retainer packages. But the goal is to make you autonomous.
04Baserow vs Airtable: when should I choose Baserow?+
Choose Baserow if you need data sovereignty (self-hosting option), want to avoid vendor lock-in, or have budget constraints at scale (Airtable gets expensive with many users/records). Baserow is open-source, so you can host it yourself and pay nothing beyond server costs. Airtable has more polished UI and more native integrations, but Baserow catches up fast and gives you full control. If compliance or data residency matters, Baserow wins.
05Can you migrate our existing Airtable bases to Baserow?+
Yes, we do this regularly. We export your Airtable data, recreate the structure in Baserow (tables, fields, linked rows, views), and import everything. Formulas and automations need to be rebuilt since the syntax differs, but we handle that. We also remap your integrations to point to Baserow's API instead of Airtable's. Timeline depends on complexity, but most migrations take 1-3 weeks.
06Can Baserow connect to Make, Zapier, or n8n?+
Absolutely. Baserow has a REST API and webhooks, so it integrates with any automation platform. We typically use Make or n8n to connect Baserow to CRMs, e-commerce platforms, Slack, email tools, accounting software, or any system with an API. Native Zapier integration also exists. We set up the scenarios, handle authentication, and make sure data flows reliably with proper error handling.
07Is Baserow suitable for large datasets?+
Yes, especially if you self-host. Cloud Baserow has row limits per table depending on your plan, but self-hosted Baserow can handle hundreds of thousands of rows if your server is properly configured. We've built systems managing 100k+ records without performance issues. For very large datasets, we optimize with proper indexing, filtered views, and pagination in integrations.
08Do you handle the self-hosting setup?+
Yes, that's one of our specialties. We deploy Baserow on your preferred infrastructure: AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, or your own servers. We configure Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, SSL certificates, and secure access. We also set up automated backups and basic monitoring. You get full control over your data, and we document everything so your IT team can maintain it.
09Can you build custom interfaces or plugins for Baserow?+
Baserow has a plugin system and allows custom development. We can build custom field types, views, or integrations if native features don't cover your need. That said, we first explore what's possible with standard features and automations before recommending custom development. Most projects don't need it, but we have the technical chops if yours does.
10How do you handle permissions and access control?+
Baserow supports workspace-level, database-level, and table-level permissions. We configure role-based access so team members only see what they need. For more granular control, we combine filtered views with permission settings. If you need row-level security (users only see their own data), we architect the system to support it with proper user fields and view filters. Forms allow external data collection without exposing the database.
