Google Cloud acquires AppSheet to boost no-code app development

Google has acquired AppSheet, a no-code platform for building mobile and web applications. The deal brings the Seattle-based startup into Google Cloud, where its tools will support workflow automation and app development. Founded in 2014, AppSheet has helped over 18,000 creators deploy around 200,000 apps without traditional coding. AppSheet began in 2014 under co-founders Praveen Seshadri and Brian Sabino. The company secured early backing from New Enterprise Associates in 2015. By 2018, it earned recognition as an innovative tech startup from TiE, a global entrepreneurship network.

In 2019, Forrester Research named AppSheet a leader in low-code app development. Its platform allows users to create apps through data capture, collaboration tools, and declarative programming. These features have attracted businesses looking to streamline operations without deep technical expertise.

Google's acquisition means the AppSheet team will now operate within Google Cloud. Amit Zavery, vice president of Google Cloud, highlighted the move as a way to accelerate business innovation. The integration aims to redefine app development by combining AppSheet's tools with Google's cloud infrastructure.

Existing AppSheet clients will continue receiving support. The transition reflects Google's broader push to simplify software creation for non-developers. The deal expands Google Cloud's capabilities in no-code and low-code solutions. Businesses using AppSheet will gain access to Google's broader ecosystem of tools and services. The acquisition also signals growing demand for platforms that reduce reliance on traditional software development.
