Glide’s **pricing model and resource limitations** make it well-suited for SMBs and non-mission-critical use cases, but it feels restrictive for larger organizations with more complex infrastructure needs.
Many enterprises already have resource configurations in place— **Postgres, Redis, MongoDB** , and other databases. However, Glide’s current approach **forces reliance on its own data layer** , limiting its ability to support apps that need to stitch together multiple dependencies.
For Glide to **scale beyond SMBs** , I think a more **robust resource & integration layer** is a must to gain buy on from these orgs. Instead of focusing primarily on Google Sheets and Airtable (which most engineers know aren’t scalable for serious workloads), Glide could:
• **Expand native support** for databases like Postgres, Redis, and enterprise-grade APIs.
• **Provide a more flexible data layer** , enabling direct connections instead of requiring data replication.
• **Improve scalability** , allowing apps to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure.
I’m really impressed with Glide’s **editor and feature set (particularly their implementation of UI)**—better than many competitors in some areas—but expanding its resource model would unlock **higher-value use cases and larger customers**
Would love to hear if this is something Glide is considering so we can build out some tools here.
