Interesting how they posted a self-host guide just a few hours before announcing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqiQKRKsfZE https://www.youtube.com/watch

Interesting how they posted a self-host guide just a few hours before announcing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqiQKRKsfZE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqiQKRKsfZE Perhaps expecting criticism and preemptively creating a response that shuts people down? Ultimately I just see the same pattern in Supabase as in many of these "easy scaling" solutions: lock in. I think the future is something like those platforms are offering but we're definitely not there yet. Also it's not like I'm an old person refusing to accept new tech. I'm young and looking to create things but I recognize that these services are (currently) doing the complete opposite of giving me freedom.

the video has been available on our self-hosting docs (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker https://supabase.com/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker) for months (see comments age). I just noticed that it was "unlisted" instead of "public" when I was making this GA page so I made it public. There isn't anything sinister here > "easy scaling" solutions: lock in This has been hashed through in a few comments on this post: Supabase is Postgres. We offer tools on top which you can _optionally_ use. Some people love those tools (especially Postgres maxis). Some people prefer to just use the database with Django/Phoenix/Rails/etc. You choose your own level of comfort.
