Hi, I currently use Supabase when I need auth for a new application. Of all the features Supabase offers, auth coming coupled with a Postgres db is my favorite.

I like the UI components and RBAC, but could you help me with when I should consider Stack over something like Supabase?
Good luck with everything!
- n2d4 2y agoSure! Supabase is great, though their authentication is really just authN and doesn't have authZ or anything more advanced like impersonation, connected accounts, orgs, etc. We are more focussed on building the entire package. We have some stuff planned that'll let you use Supabase RLS with Stack Auth, so you can get the benefits of both. That way, you could do fancy stuff like checking for org membership or permissions inside an RLS rule. I think Supabase DB + Stack Auth could be quite powerful in the future. If you don't use RLS, then we are pretty much a drop-in replacement.
- nilirl 2y agoI see. So correct me if I'm wrong, but currently the most attractive thing about Stack, when compared to the other AuthN alternatives, is that it ships with a lot of features to get complex AuthZ setup? That's definitely cool. I think your docs could go into how this is made simpler/faster. Thank you for building this!
- n2d4 2y agoPretty much, I think that sums it up quite well :)
