Last week, my business operations nearly came to a halt—all because of one application: Airtable. We hit their API rate limits, and suddenly, no data could flow in or out.
Our entire business relies on Airtable from sales pipelines, client management, project tracking, and financial management. With so many moving parts, the number of API calls we make each day grows rapidly. It became clear that we needed a more scalable and versatile solution.
That’s when we turned to Postgres—and Supabase made perfect sense.
However, the initial migration proved to be a challenge. Managing the data transfer manually was unsustainable, so I built an automated ETL system to handle it:
How It Works:
-
Enter your Airtable access token and base ID
-
Connect your Postgres credentials
-
Click “Move Data”
In the background
-
We get the specified base and extract the base schema
-
Create new tables on postgres as they appear on Airtable
-
Create new fields with the required data formats
-
Upload the data from the specified base into postgress
This will save us tons of dollars and hours to a task we’d otherwise delegate a team member to do… If you manage work with Airtable or would like to explore this ETL template. feel free to comment or DM
Happy productivity!!
