Supabase developer here. I've used this to move data from a live Supabase database down to the browser for testing and playing around with things in a "sandbox" environment. Then I save snapshots along the way in case I mess

Supabase developer here. I worked on this project with the guys over at Snaplet. One thing we are working on is putting postgres on an alternative filesystem using 9p. There's some really cool work by humphd that creates a filesystem

That'd be some feat, considering the first printing press wasn't perfected until about 1450! LOL

> people overthink the value in being able to self host “just in case”. This. I'm guilty as charged here over the years. As I've grown older I've realized a few things. Nothing is, or ever will be perfect. Nothing last

Supabase developer here. Firebase has a team managing service uptime. Supabase has a team managing service uptime. If you self-host Supabase, you have to manage uptime yourself. You can't self-host Firebase. Regarding lock-in, you&

Supabase developer here. True to an extent, but at least with the data, it's PostgreSQL, which you could take somewhere else. Or you could easily port it to another brand of SQL and do something else with it. And as far as being &quo

Supabase developer here. Coming from Firebase myself, the biggest driver for me can be summed up with: relational data. PostgreSQL rocks.

That is definitely true (and probably easier than doing custom claims), but the reason I use claims is that it saves doing a join against that extra table inside your RLS policies, which can sometimes have a big performance impact. Those c

Supabase developer here. Just to clarify, inactivity means "no api calls, no dashboard usage", so your project only gets paused if it's truly inactive for a full week. If you have an application with any sort of usage at al

Supabase developer here. We concentrate on the following core features: Database (PostgreSQL with Postgrest for REST) Auth (GoTrue) Storage (S3, or local files if self-hosting) Edge Functions (Deno, deployed across dozens of regions) Realt

Supabase developer here. That's entirely correct. But in addition to an API wrapper around Postgres, Supabase also offers Storage, Auth, and Edge Functions as a complete baas -- it's not just a database backend.

No problem -- it's a very valid question and deserves to be clear to everyone. Supabase open-sources everything and nothing is behind a paid license, except for any stuff related to us providing the hosted stuff. For instance, our int

Supabase developer here. "Wrapper" is an oversimplification, but essentially, we provide additional value to the existing OSS offerings (i.e. PostgreSQL, GoTrue, Kong, Postgrest) by adding libraries and server configurations that

Supabase developer here. We hear you. I feel the same thing when I use the dashboard. It's on our radar and we're working on it. Thanks for your very kind words about Supabase.

Supabase developer here. If you're interested in realtime, be sure to mark your calendar for our upcoming launch week (we do this a few times a year.) It's the week of March 28 and you'll definitely be very interested in so

Supabase developer here. I came from Firestore to Supabase due to running into a lot of limitations you're seeing. Just my biased opinion, but looking at "newer/more modern DBs" is not necessarily the route you want to

Supabase developer here. We offer both password-less (magic links) as well as password and third-party OATH, so you may as well just offer your user their own choice.

Supabase developer here. We’d love your input on what you’d like to see for dev / staging / production. Please let us know what you’re looking for or the model you’re interested in.

It's considered our "API", which is part of the "Firebase Alternative" marketing idea, but your point is duly noted and I'll pass it on to our devrel guys. Thanks.

Supabase developer here. Supabase gives you full PostgreSQL access as well as a REST api interface (Postgrest) with integrated authentication (based on GoTrue), S3-based storage also integrated to authentication and integrated with your Po

PLV8 is cool, but I wanted to use require("module") and have all the nifty NodeJS stuff like require("http"). SupaScript is an attempt to emulate NodeJS inside Postgres, with dynamic module loading over the web, caching
