Was your service programmatically reading and/or writing the Google Sheet "database"? I've built some small sites that used JavaScript to load data from a read-only Google Sheet. It was a surprisingly productive way to get a prototype running, but I never had to handle more than a few hits a day. :)
Did your MVP using Google Sheet impact or influence the design of future versions of your backend?
The data we were using didn't change more than a few times a week. So we would generate JSON files using Python and the Google Sheets API. Since we never had to hit the Google Sheets API in any live fashion, it was basically small cached data files.
This was fine even as we approached >100K monthly uniques.
We moved more the data to our CMS as traffic grew for ease of use, but we could have used this method basically indefinitely.
