Supabase
Open-source backend platform built on Postgres
Supabase is an open-source backend platform built around Postgres, authentication, storage, realtime features, edge functions, and developer tooling. It is often used by teams that want Firebase-like speed with a relational database foundation.
Supabase belongs on shortlists when developers want managed backend speed without giving up SQL and Postgres portability. Compare auth, database scaling, realtime requirements, self-hosting options, edge functions, pricing, and ecosystem maturity.
It belongs on a shortlist when the buyer needs usable business software faster than a custom build. Test data modeling, permissions, scalability, integration paths, handoff, pricing, and adjacent options such as databases, backend platforms, and low-code internal tools.
