Can Airtable handle production-scale applications?

Airtable works well for low-to-medium volume applications. For high-volume needs, we can sync Airtable data to a production database while keeping Airtable as the management interface.

How do you handle Airtable API rate limits?

We implement request queuing, caching, and batch operations to stay within Airtable's 5 requests/second limit while maintaining responsiveness.

Can we build a mobile app on top of Airtable?

Yes. We build mobile apps using React Native that read from and write to Airtable bases with offline support and optimistic updates.
