Supabase
Open-source Firebase alternative with PostgreSQL
Self Hosted Supabase
Integrates with
Supabase is a backend-as-a-service platform providing PostgreSQL databases, real-time subscriptions, authentication, and storage. Built for developers who want PostgreSQL's power without vendor lock-in.
Supabase combines PostgreSQL with a managed hosting layer, adding real-time capabilities, authentication (JWT-based), vector search, and file storage via S3-compatible APIs. Unlike Firebase, you get direct SQL access and can self-host or migrate data easily. Includes built-in REST/GraphQL APIs and JavaScript/Python client libraries.
Pros
- Use standard PostgreSQL with full SQL support
- Self-host or run on managed infrastructure
- Real-time subscriptions with minimal latency
- Built-in authentication and row-level security
- Free tier sufficient for prototyping
Cons
- Smaller ecosystem and community compared to Firebase
- Self-hosting requires DevOps knowledge
- Scaling to high concurrency requires manual tuning
Best For
Teams building web/mobile apps who prefer PostgreSQL's relational model and want to avoid vendor lock-in.
