Potentially, yes. Depending on what you’re updating.

What are you trying to achieve/what’s the use case?

Understood.

The answer is yes - you can build this with Adalo. Adalo lists have a setting to “auto update”.

Note: this is very different than “update the database of adalo web app every second”. That would imply performing a CRUD (create, read, update, delete) action every second, 24 hours a day. Which could be resource intensive, depending on the action you’re performing. The list update feature is a data listener, which is a lot easier for the DB and won’t slow down the user experience as much (note that if you have too many of these it will).

Hope that helps & answers your question.
