I run a small nonprofit and we desperately need a custom internal database to manage our volunteers and donor outreach, but we have zero budget for a dedicated developer. I've been exploring no-code development platforms to build this myself, but I'm overwhelmed by the options and concerned about scalability and data security. For others who have built operational tools with no-code solutions, which platform did you choose and why? How did you plan your data structure and user permissions from the start to avoid major reworks later? What were the biggest limitations you hit, and at what point did you realize you needed to transition to a coded solution or hire a professional?
