If you had to do it again, would you have still used airtable but keep it controlled within your team like you said, OR would you have opted for a heavier initial investment? I know hindsight is always 20/20 but decisions of initial cost always comes into play and almost always we choose the cheapest option.
I would add the following: 1. Ensure the external platform has webhooks (airtable did not have it at the time, but has it now) -- this would solve the hits to the database from our sync scripts and any timing issues 2. Push for one-way sync at most 3. Lock down exactly what we will support and communicate it to all parties 4. Lock down the airtable base to only a select few who can modify instead of blindly trusting people 5. Have a transition plan with an explicit target date and keep pushing for it to be executed -- all decision makers must be aware of this, especially the CEO (in our case it's a startup so we have a direct line) If I can't do these, then I won't implement it at all and they'll have to fire and replace me or put me on another project
