Stein – Use Google Sheets as a No-Setup Database

In plain words

Stein is a developer tool that enables users to leverage Google Sheets as a database without requiring additional setup. Launched in 2019, it allows developers to build applications that read from and write to Google Sheets through an API interface. This approach suits teams already using Google Sheets who want to avoid managing separate database infrastructure while maintaining a familiar spreadsheet interface for data management.
