In a nutshell

Supabase is the best backend-as-a-service for developers who want real PostgreSQL. The speed from zero to production-ready backend is remarkable. Open source means no lock-in. The free tier is generous enough to build and launch real products. A genuine game-changer for indie developers.

What's great

  • Real PostgreSQL — no proprietary database lock-in
  • Auth, storage, and real-time included out of the box
  • Open source with self-hosting option

Watch out for

  • Complex queries can be challenging through the client library
  • Free tier projects pause after inactivity
  • Edge functions are newer and less mature than Firebase functions

Best for

Developers who want a Firebase-like experience with real PostgreSQL and open-source flexibility.

Not ideal for

Teams needing complex backend logic — Supabase provides data infrastructure, not application logic.
