Supabase is an open-source Postgres development platform that bundles a hosted (or self-hosted) Postgres database with authentication, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, realtime subscriptions, edge functions, file storage, and a vector/embeddings toolkit for AI apps. It aims to provide a Firebase-like developer experience built on enterprise-grade open source tools.
Use cases
- add a postgres backend with auth to my web app
- firebase alternative with a real sql database
- auto-generate rest and graphql apis from my database schema
- realtime subscriptions for live updates in my app
- store and query vector embeddings for rag
- self-host a backend-as-a-service platform
- upload and serve user files with access control
- build a mobile app backend with flutter or swift
When to choose
- you want a full backend (database, auth, storage, APIs) without building it yourself
- you prefer Postgres and SQL over Firebase's NoSQL model
- you need realtime data sync or vector search for AI applications
- you want the option to self-host or develop locally
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight single-purpose library rather than a full platform
- your workload requires a database other than Postgres
- you cannot accept cloud or self-hosted infrastructure dependencies
