Hey folks!
Okay, yeah I hear you, maybe this isn't the most robust backend system, but it is fast, lightweight, and extends tools everyone already knows.
Lots of companies have, at one point or another, driven parts of their business using Google Sheets. Levels.fyi used Google Sheets as their backend while scaling to over a million users [0]. CovidActNow.org, which reached over a million monthly visitors during the pandemic, started as just a model in a Google Sheet.
Though both eventually moved on to purpose-built backends, (as they should) it's clear there's a real draw to use Google Drive to build products quickly. Even many large companies use Google Docs and Spreadsheets to glue together pieces of their products and content.
These tools are loved for good reason--so why not make it easier to build around them?
