About Supabase
Supabase positions as an open-source alternative to Firebase, providing a full backend stack built on Postgres. Its moat is developer trust: SQL-first design, open-source credibility, and strong alignment with modern SaaS and AI product needs. Supabase matters as infrastructure that lets small teams ship production-ready backends without building everything from scratch. It is increasingly the default backend choice for AI-first startups.
👍 The Good
- SQL-first, Postgres-native architecture
- Open-source with strong developer trust
- Integrated auth, storage, and realtime features
👎 The Bad
- Operational complexity increases at high scale
- Advanced configurations require backend expertise
- Ecosystem smaller than hyperscaler offerings
