Using Airtable as a database to store realtime messages

This article demonstrates how to use Airtable as a database for storing realtime messages in a group chat app using Ably's real-time infrastructure and WebHooks. The source code of the group chat app is written in VueJS, available on GitHub, and can be tested live at https://realtime-chat-storage.ably.dev/. Airtable is described as a flexible tool that combines features of task managers, databases, CRMs, spreadsheets, etc., into one product. It provides a simple REST API to perform basic CRUD operations on the data stored. The article also discusses Ably's real-time messaging infrastructure and WebHook Integration feature for integrating Airtable directly with an Ably app.
