2022 has been a year of fast growth, connecting with our users and community, new team members, brand new features, and a lot more.
Last Year in Numbers
Let’s start with some numbers, and also look at the impact Baserow has had in 2022.
Today, Baserow has had 26,000 sign ups, a 250% increase in 1 year. Many of our users self host Baserow, therefore the total users is likely close to 100,000. 50% of our new users are from the United States & Canada, followed by Europe and Asia.
This year, our users created 28,000 workspaces with 40,000 databases and 94,000 tables in the hosted version. Activity also continued to grow: more than 11 million rows were created with 88,000 files uploaded, taking 47 Gigabytes of storage on our SaaS offering.
That’s a lot of data! We also plan to add more features to make data management even easier in Baserow.
