- Google Script – In many of Google’s apps, you can make scripts on the backend. This is done by using Google Script, Google’s own scripting language. However, it is essentially just Javascript with Google-specific modules added for integration with their apps. For example, you can create a free, lightweight database on Google Sheets (many other Google-compatible databases are available), and use the Script Editor to add background scripts. You could generate reports, change format, and rearrange data – amongst many other things – using Google Script. We recommend using this if you have very little to no budget and want an out-of-the-box solution that is familiar (Javascript is not far off from Java).
