Overview

Supabase is a development platform built around a dedicated Postgres database, with authentication, REST and GraphQL APIs, Realtime, Storage, Functions, and a dashboard. It offers hosted use alongside local development and self-hosting paths.

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

What it controls

Postgres schemas underpin REST APIs through PostgREST, while GoTrue handles authentication, Realtime subscribes to database changes, and Storage manages files. The platform composes independent open-source systems and exposes clients for JavaScript, Flutter, Swift, Python, and other ecosystems.

Where it fits

It fits web or mobile applications that want a SQL database, authentication, files, and realtime updates in one developer experience. It is especially relevant when a team wants to reduce initial backend integration work without hiding direct access to Postgres.

Boundaries to review

The official README explicitly says Supabase is not a one-to-one mapping of Firebase. Hosted and self-hosted paths differ in operational ownership, upgrades, availability, and support. Component licenses and deployment boundaries also vary, so the root repository license alone does not describe every service in the system.

Selected for combining Postgres-led technical intent with Firebase-alternative comparisons and a wide surface of examples and clients.
