Airtable (as backend)Production codeNo-code
Migrate your Airtable-backed app to PostgreSQL.
Direct answer
Yes, Airtable-backed apps move to PostgreSQL for real query power, foreign keys, and no row limits. Airtable can stay as a data-entry surface for non-technical users if you want.
The problem
Why teams leave Airtable (as backend).
Airtable's row limits, formula-column performance, and API rate limits all hit at once as apps grow.
Our approach
How we migrate.
Map Airtable bases to typed Prisma models, migrate every record with validation, then either sunset Airtable or keep it as a two-way-synced admin UI.

Frequently asked
Airtable (as backend) migration questions.
Will my Airtable app look and feel the same after migration?+
Yes, pixel-faithful by default. Most end users notice only that the app is faster; the visual language stays identical unless you use the migration as a chance to refresh the design.
How long does a typical migration from Airtable take?+
Standard migrations land in 2–5 weeks, Premium (custom integrations, performance budget) in 4–8 weeks, Enterprise (regulated, multi-tenant) in 6–12 weeks. Codify Yo cuts the timeline further as it learns.
Will I lose any data when I move off Airtable?+
No. Data is exported, validated with row-level checks, and replayed with delta sync until cutover. The old Airtable app stays untouched until you confirm rollout, so you always have a rollback path.
How much does it cost to migrate from Airtable?+
Migrations start at $1,975 for Standard scope and $7,500 for Premium. Most teams recover the cost in weeks on platform-fee savings alone.
