You do not need to go through these guys Google provides access to the URL to use the sheet as a database and also allows you to deploy Javascript and even host the site with AppScript (example https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbzYt_aXBdQlnMM7idlVD... )

Cloud SQL costs gazillions, sheet is free (other than selling your data)
> Cloud SQL costs gazillions, WTF is "Cloud SQL"? I have a postgresql server running on a $5/m VPS that I add DBs to as and when I explore some new idea.
Don’t really get the purpose for this apart from throw away projects. For vibe coders is it really “hours” setting up a database these days? GCP cloud sql + drizzle ORM is minutes and actually scales unlike a spreadsheet, heck Claude can even write you a deployment script and run it over GCP CLI.
This is a great project, very cool, but it is actually insane to me that CRUD is so apparently hard that Google Sheets is the best solution
The attractiveness of a spreadsheet comes in the display and the charts, etc. For a serious database doing actual transactions, I'm not sure about the utility.
It's really good (no affiliation).

function exampleQuery1() { const gq = new GQuery(); const result = gq .from("Tags") .select(["ID","Name"]) .where((row) => row.ID == 12) // you can use > or < etc .get(); JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }

Don't do this guy, cloudsql costs a lot.
db-f1-micro is about $10pm inc storage for something that just works and can scale, be shifted on prem etc. you can run all your vibe coded slop on one instance.
SQLite, SQLite + drizzle with WAL mode, push it to a VPS, do not waste your time on anything else :) Thank me when things become super easy! When things scale, SQLite will still be fine, will fit 99% of the vibe coders needs! When they don't then migrate to what ever!
