Performance is essential! That’s why we spent the past couple of weeks optimizing Baserow’s speed. Now your tables are faster, smoother to navigate, and the calendar view has new features too. Read on to learn more about what’s new in Baserow 1.17.
Baserow can now easily handle tables with millions of rows thanks to a long list of under-the-hood upgrades, in some situations being up-to 100x faster than before. We’ve also improved Baserow’s performance across the board, seeing on average a 3x. And we’re just getting started with performance optimizations!

This has resulted in the overall average response being 50% faster for all requests. With the other improvements, this can result in baserow.io being up to 3x faster.
Keep an eye out for another blog post coming soon. It will go into more technical detail on the performance optimizations and how we benchmark Baserow.
Today we are excited to introduce a big update to our pricing plan. Because of the recent performance improvements, we decided to increase the limitations in the Advanced plan from 100,000 to 250,000 rows to show our commitment to making Baserow scalable and performant.
In Baserow 1.16, we released a Calendar view that allows you to visualize how rows connect to certain dates. The initial version only had some basic features such as creating, duplicating, or deleting a calendar. In this release, we added new functionality, and now you can:

We are delighted to share a PDF generator app built with Baserow and Appsmith, which is an open source low-code platform for developing internal apps.
Now you can create PDF files with data you have in Baserow in minutes, and Appsmith’s drag-and-drop interface makes it simple to add any additional functionality you need right away.

As a remote-only company without offices, we love meeting in person and spending quality time together. The team spent the first week of May in Mallorca to get to know each other, connect, and exchange ideas. These were wonderful days of fun activities and lively conversations.

The next big features on the roadmap are search performance improvements, further improving the calendar view, free trials for paid plans, collaborator mentions, advanced filtering, and other features suggested by the community.
