Supabase - The Postgres developer platform is now generally available

At our startup Asekio we first spent 6 months crafting our own back-end. When we heard of Supabase, we thought we would give it a spin to see if it was REALLY as good as people said. During a weekend hackathon we completely replaced approx 6 months of work, using Supabase, which is incredible impressive. I repeat - we set up an entire back-end with full features, with Supabase, for our niched product in less than a weekend, which would normally take us 6 months or so. We still use Supabase and write approximately 70% less code then we would have with any other Database setup. We have very few backend endpoints, most of it is Supabase. We looked at alternatives, like Firebase and others, but considering we we are building a website builder - speed is essential, but so is also avoiding vendor lock-in. Since time was crucial for us, we wouldn't have had the time in man-hours to set up the infrastructure for something like this up ourselves, and every hour we can spend on building product rather than infrastructure is an hour well spent from our point of view. Supabase is really the best of both worlds here, considering it's OSS but you're also just minutes from starting to build product rather than messing about in VPSes and Kubernetes clusters. It's simply "Postgres" which means we're capable of spinning up our own servers and easily connecting using widely available postgresql connectors from our own services. There's very few things that Supabase "lacks" in general terms for a "back-end" (it's not "Just" a Database, it's much more) even for our complex needs, but for those things we can just write the code ourselves in our own back-end and integrate directly with postgres or Supabase APIs. I could go on for hours, but I guess I'll have to write a longer article about how we engineered our stack sometime in the future!

I have been abusing Supabase's free plan for some time, and it has performed admirably. If only I had the time to put something into production. It's a never-ending struggle. Congrats on the launch and the slickest UI/UX, which also served as inspiration for Daytona enterprise dashboard.

Supabase is bae. <3 (and RIP to the braves #indiehackers that planned their launch today, you'll be remembered.)

Each time Supabase does their announcements it keeps getting better, and this one puts the cherry on top (so far at least 😛) Has been a great experience for those not familiar with SQL, not just in building but also learning the ropes. Am here for the ride to see how far it goes 🤩

We migrated over 125,000 users from Auth0 to Supabase ~2 years ago and were able to reduce our auth costs by >99% and it has been smooth sailing so far!

Wow an open source backend for any app. Sounds reall good! Did you every consider MariaDB as a second offering to your open source tool? Wish you all the best for you launch!

To the next 4 years!

Here's to many more milestones! 👏

All the hard work pays off, I can clearly see it. Setting the right goals, and working hard on achieving them results in a great products like this one! This is very practical how scalable the product is. Congratulations on the launch, and the best of luck today! 🚀

Just checked it out. Looks promising.
