Use Google Spreadsheet as a Database

In plain words

Use Google Spreadsheet as a Database is a developer tool that enables engineers to leverage Google Sheets as a backend database. Launched in 2017, it simplifies data storage and retrieval by using the familiar spreadsheet interface instead of traditional databases. The tool is designed for developers who want a lightweight, accessible alternative for managing structured data without setting up complex database infrastructure. Code and documentation are available on GitHub.
