As mentioned in the first series, this article is not to deliberate the usefulness of sheet over an actual db or vice versa. But i'll highlight a few use cases.

use case 0) a small startup using sheet because that is what works for them because of the market they are serving, etc.
use case 1) you have a google form where people register for an event and you need to pull this data into your application or probably save to an actual db.
use case 2) your non-technical manager demands you update the sheet with data when a user registers for an event. why not automate this process.
