How reversible is our use of Airtable?

How easy would it be to swap Airtable for another service?

Asking for us in the future, but also thinking about other orgs who'd try and copy our setup.

The code connecting with Airtable is really tied to their API so it can not be reused for other service. The good thing is that all the Airtable-related code is in a single place, so to use another service we would need to create just one object, replicating the functionality but using a different API.

In short: The change is not straightforward but should be easy enough.

Thank you, that is good to know and seems doable indeed!
