Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One of the best products I've ever used has been 8base for the past year or so. The GraphQL API and Data Builder are two of the most powerful core features. 8base allows you to move and build quickly. After doing a lot of research, I couldn't find anything that came close to 8base in terms of ease of use and feature power. It fulfills all of my requirements and then some, and the user base is expanding all the time.
