Hi Guys,

I have been using Airtable as my data source. However I see some lag when data syncing needs to happen. SO I am thinking of moving things to Glide database.

Has anyone done this before? How easy is it and how do we start moving forward with this?

I am little worried that removing things might lead to data loss.

Thank you guys in advance for the help.

Regards,  
Dilip

As far as I understand, you would need to export your Airtable data, import that into a new Glide Table, and reconstruct all the computed columns, then link those with components/actions again.
