Supabase

Postgres-backed backend platform for auth, database, storage, and realtime apps.

Supabase gives builders a managed Postgres-centered backend with common product primitives. It is often a practical companion to AI app builders that need a real data layer.

Editorial summary

A strong default backend for many MVPs, especially when the builder wants SQL and managed auth without owning infrastructure.

Best for

  • Auth-backed apps
  • Realtime prototypes

Use cases

  • Store user data
  • Add authentication
  • Create realtime product flows

Integrations

  • Postgres

  • Good starter docs
  • Pairs well with app builders

Cons

  • Free tier is not capacity planning

Limitations
