Managed NocoDB Hosting — production-ready from $15 a month
Open-source Airtable alternative. Deployed on your own dedicated instance in AWS, Azure, or GCP, kept patched, backed up, and monitored by ManageStacks — standard NocoDB, no lock-in.
NocoDB turns any database into a smart spreadsheet with an Airtable-like interface for no-code data management. ManageStacks deploys NocoDB with persistent storage, automated backups, and team access controls.
What does NocoDB do, and why do teams deploy it?
NocoDB is an open-source no-code platform that transforms any MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, or MariaDB database into a collaborative spreadsheet interface. It provides grid, gallery, kanban, and form views, along with automations, API access, and rich field types similar to Airtable.
NocoDB is ideal for teams that need a user-friendly interface on top of existing databases, or want to build internal tools and workflows without coding. It supports real-time collaboration, row-level comments, attachments, formulas, and webhook automations.
- Spreadsheet interface for any SQL database

What does managed NocoDB hosting cost?
Flat per-app pricing, in your chosen AWS, Azure, or GCP region. No per-user pricing — a busy deployment costs the same as a quiet one.
Starter
Staging and internal tools. Dedicated instance, TLS, daily backups, managed upgrades.
Standard
Production workloads. Adds monitoring, staging environment, region choice, priority support.
Business
High-traffic and compliance workloads. Adds a high-availability replica and same-day support.
24×7 SRE retainer
Round-the-clock on-call across every hosted application, for teams that need a pager answered at 3am.
When is self-hosting NocoDB the right answer instead?
“Managed hosting is not always the correct call.”
Self-host when a platform team already runs the infrastructure and on-call rotation to operate NocoDB at genuinely low marginal cost. Self-host when compliance requires an air-gapped or on-premises deployment that no hosted option can satisfy. And self-host when the deployment depends on heavy customisation with a fast internal build-deploy loop, because an internal release process will beat any managed change process.
For everyone else — teams whose engineers have better things to do than shepherd upgrades — managed hosting is cheaper than the hours it replaces.
Which cloud should NocoDB run on — AWS, Azure or GCP?
For most workloads, the choice of cloud matters less than proximity: run NocoDB in the same cloud and region as the applications and data it talks to, because every request between them adds a round trip. The underlying compute performs equivalently across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
In practice, an existing cloud footprint decides it. All plans support all three clouds, and moving regions later is a scheduled migration, not a rebuild.
Deepest managed-service catalog, default when there's no existing footprint
Best fit for teams already on Microsoft 365 or Entra ID
Strongest for data/analytics-adjacent workloads
Every plan supports AWS, Azure, and GCP — region choice included.
Common questions about NocoDB on ManageStacks
Can NocoDB on ManageStacks connect to my existing database?
Yes. NocoDB can connect to external MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MariaDB databases, creating a no-code interface on top of your existing data without migration.
Does NocoDB on ManageStacks provide an API for my tables?
Yes. NocoDB auto-generates a REST API with Swagger documentation for every table you create or connect. Your applications can read and write data through these endpoints.
How does ManageStacks handle NocoDB data backups?
ManageStacks runs automated daily backups of NocoDB's metadata database and any locally stored attachments. If you connect NocoDB to an external database, that database should be backed up separately.
