In my opinion. I do not get the value of BaaS platforms. By the time you have spun up your 3rd postgres instance in a VM you get a hang of it and create a boilerplate docker container with an API layer. Firebase has auth for free. Firebase has custom domains for free. Supabase is BaaS and Firebase is an app platform. You can make firebase just work, but for supabase you need other services to compliment. I maybe missing the point of supabase, but I have tried it for a year and it is not for me. VPS from medium and small vendors are quite cheap and it is worth the investment to set it up in your way. Fly.io shutdown, planetscale canceled free tier, heroku canceled free tier and frontend layer platforms like Vercel and Netlify has pricing related reputational issues. I just do not trust these platforms any more. VPS and dedicated servers are cheap, sutainable, and experimentable. They are tried and true. But that's my opinion, I could be wrong.
