On the other hand, these kinds of integrations would also complicate the process of building an app and it looks like AWS is trying to keep things simple for now. With this, AWS argues, users can then focus on building their applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.Īs of now, it doesn’t look like users will be able to bring in any outside data sources, though that may still be on the company’s roadmap. ‘Builders,” as AWS calls Honeycode users, can also set up notifications, reminders and approval workflows within the service.ĪWS says these databases can easily scale up to 100,000 rows per workbook.
To manipulate data, users can work with standard spreadsheet-style formulas, which seems to be about the closest the service gets to actual programming. It’s no surprise then that Honeycode uses a spreadsheet view as its core data interface, which makes sense, given how familiar virtually every potential user is with this concept. “As a result, people often prefer having custom applications built, but the demand for custom programming often outstrips developer capacity, creating a situation where teams either need to wait for developers to free up or have to hire expensive consultants to build applications.”
“Customers try to solve for the static nature of spreadsheets by emailing them back and forth, but all of the emailing just compounds the inefficiency because email is slow, doesn’t scale, and introduces versioning and data syncing errors,” the company notes in today’s announcement.
