The breadth of features in AG Grid and the quality of the product are not matched. For businesses that show data, a data-grid will always be needed. The world will continue to need more software to be written. If anything, it has accelerated the move to using software such as enabling online shopping and enabling working from home. Post-Covid, How Important Are Data-Grids for Businesses and What Are The Key Use Cases?Ĭovid has not impacted the software world. Because we are a small niche company, we can take the time to find the right people, often interviewing 10 to 20 individuals for one position. ![]() We are able to pull this off because we have a very skilled engineering team. A datagrid is one of the most difficult things to write, it is a very complex project. The quality of the product comes down to the excellent engineering skills of the AG Grid team. This isn’t a case of “we do it better”, but a case of “our competitors simply don’t do this”. For example, AG Grid allows you to build charts similar to charting data in Excel, right from the grid out of the box. The breadth of features means AG Grid can do many things our competitors simply cannot do. The reason for this success comes down to the 1) breadth of features and 2) quality of the product.

With that I decided to quit my job and focus on the project full time. There were lots of other developers that needed a data-grid just like mine, and my pet project became popular online, spread by word of mouth.Īfter almost one year, the project had grown organically to 8 thousand monthly downloads. I release the project as Open Source to benefit the world, and to my surprise (which was stupid of me, I should of known) my pet project solved a global problem. This led me to start AG Grid as a hobby project for my own usage. You normally use a third party data-grid for this job, however I was displeased with the options currently available. ![]() The application needed to show a lot of data inside a data-grid. I was challenged with creating a new product for the bank using JavaScript. In other words, they wanted a rich experience when using the applications, similar to that of Excel (they all know Excel very well).
