I've always taken issue with branding Supabase as an alternative to Firebase. Firebase is a PaaS whereas Supabase is more of a BaaS.
- chaosprint 1y agocan you explain more?
- joshdavham 1y agoWhile Supabase does support many equivalent Firebase features like a database, auth, functions, storage, etc, Supabase doesn't support website hosting whereas Firebase does. Supabase is mainly for backend stuff (BaaS) whereas Firebase is for both frontend and backend (PaaS). To get the equivalent functionality of Firebase, you'd need to add something like Netlify or Vercel to pair it with your Supabase backend.
