No! If you've ever used a spreadsheet, you'll be able to figure it out quickly.
100%. Vertex creates an out-of-the-box API on top of your database.

Currently we create a fresh database for you on a managed Postgres provider (eg AWS, GCP, Azure, etc). Databases are hosted on shared servers with other users. You'll get access via a Postgres user that has restricted access to your database with a connection limit of 10-20. While we're in private beta, the details of our managed databases such as the provider and connection limit are subject to change. If you need a higher connection limit or root access, you can self-host a Postgres database while still using Vertex.
Vertex does not back up your database on its own but it gives you raw Postres database access enabling you to set up your own automated database backups. If you're interested in having Vertex do this out of the box, please let us know.
Our product is built as an interface on top of Postgres which can handle a ton of data - far, far more than any spreadsheet or no-code database that we know of.
