About

Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. Start your project with a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Edge Functions, Realtime subscriptions, Storage, and Vector embeddings.

Target Audience: Supabase is used by full-stack developers, startup founders, and product teams building web or mobile apps that need a fast backend without assembling separate services. It is especially useful for teams that want PostgreSQL, authentication, and realtime features in one stack while still keeping SQL access and the option to self-host.
Not ideal for: Teams that do not want to manage or understand a PostgreSQL-based backend, or that require a non-SQL datastore and highly specialized custom infrastructure beyond the Supabase platform.

What makes it different

  • PostgreSQL-first backend with direct SQL access instead of a proprietary NoSQL data model
  • Auto-generated APIs from database schema, including instant REST APIs and realtime subscriptions
  • Built-in authentication, storage, and Edge Functions in one platform for app backends
  • Open source and self-hostable, with Row Level Security for fine-grained access control
