firebase-gcp-examples VS rowy

I'm tryin to make sense of this comment: "getStaticProps is required to make page "static" as using a custom server disables automatic static optimizations", mentioned here. If I don't include the getSTaticProps, what exactly will happen ? Is it not still a static page?

Also from the same makers, there is rowy.io however that is completely different beast in its own :)

We've been using firebase for build my apps for the past few years now, and its been great for shipping out apps quickly and not worrying about managing and scaling We built Rowy to solve our own pain points as developers: 😵 Not being able to share Firestore database access to our teammates - in an interface they are familiar with like spreadsheet. 😵 We liked the Airtable experience of collaborating on data but it is limited in scalability, not synced to your production apps, limited storage, and inability to control access at a granular level. 😵 We also liked the Firebase experience for building our apps quickly but their native cloud console is hard to use, especially for non-technical users. 😵 We were repeatedly building automations via third party apps. Current No-code or Low-code options mostly lack flexibility, have feature limitations, or not scalable like Zapier (not to mention the cost!). 😵 Managing 100s of cloud functions in cloud consoles, deploying them via CLIs in terminals, trying to figure out which cloud function is triggered when - was a nightmare! Honestly, we should not be doing things this way in 2021! So we built Rowy and decided to open-source it. Rowy brings you an Airtable-like experience to manage your database. You can write your product functionality effortlessly in the browser with the context of your data. It is flexible, open-source and highly scalable. 🚀 We are starting with the ecosystem of Google Cloud Platform/Firebase to help you build your product in minutes. Basically, Rowy makes GCP as easy as ABC 😎 Features of Rowy: ⚡️ View and model your Firestore data in a spreadsheet-like UI ⚡️ Build and deploy cloud functions right in your browser (no need to mess around with CLIs, terminals or boilerplate code 😵 ) ⚡️ Add automation with ready-made extensions to your favorite tools (Algolia, Twilio, SendGrid, BigQuery, Slack ...) or build your own ⚡️ Use any NPM packages, APIs ⚡️ Collaborate with your teammates with granular permission control at table and field level ⚡️ ... and so much more!

Tables I would image when it is released, should be a great Airtable alternative. With Rowy, we are building an Airtable like experience but your actual database on Firestore. So that developers can continue to build their apps. https://github.com/rowyio/rowy

What scale have you tested the UI at? Do you have any demo / benchmarks for over 1M rows?

Reading through the infinite scrolling PR [1] it looks like scrolling isn’t virtualized (like Airtable’s) so the browser will start choking when it has too many elements in the DOM.

With a goal to help developers focus on building their product functionality fast, we built Rowy with ❤️. Our code is open-source, you fully own your data and your data stays on your own GCP/Firestore project.
