In plain words

Fieldbook is a database tool designed for developers and technical teams who need to manage structured data. It combines a spreadsheet-style interface for easy data entry and visualization with a REST API for programmatic access. Launched in 2015, it offers a lightweight alternative to traditional databases, making it accessible to users who prefer a familiar spreadsheet format while maintaining backend functionality for integration with other applications.
