Supabase

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Supabase is the open-source Firebase alternative — Postgres database + auth + storage + real-time + edge functions, all under one platform. Built on standard Postgres so you keep SQL portability. The most-starred BaaS in OSS.

What it's for

  • Mobile + web app backend — auth, DB, file storage, real-time in one
  • Rapid prototyping — go from idea to deployed backend in hours
  • Postgres-first architecture — keep SQL, gain BaaS conveniences
  • Real-time apps — chat, collaboration, live dashboards
  • Multi-tenant SaaS — RLS (Row-Level Security) for tenant isolation

Who it's for

  • Frontend developers building React / Next.js / Flutter apps
  • Indie SaaS founders moving fast to MVP
  • Privacy-bound apps rejecting Firebase / AWS data residency
  • Multi-tenant SaaS needing PostgreSQL-grade isolation
  • Migration projects moving off Firebase keeping data SQL-portable

Why teams pick Supabase over alternatives

  • Apache 2.0 — fully open
  • Built on Postgres — full SQL power, not a NoSQL trap
  • Real-time on Postgres — replication-based, not duplicated state
  • Auth + RLS — Row-Level Security ties identity to data access
  • Strong SDK ecosystem — JS, Flutter, Python, Swift, Kotlin
  • Self-host parity — full feature set on-prem

Integrations

  • Client SDKs — JS/TS, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, Python, Rust
  • OAuth providers — Google, GitHub, Apple, Facebook, custom OIDC
  • Storage backends — built-in S3-compatible, MinIO option
  • Edge Functions — Deno-based serverless functions
  • Webhooks — fire on DB events
  • Realtime — broadcast, presence, postgres-changes channels
  • GraphQL via pg_graphql — auto-generated from schema

Notable users & community

  • Used by Mozilla, GitHub, Capgemini for production backends
  • Backed by Supabase Inc. with sustainable commercial cloud
  • Active Discord with thousands of devs

Tips & operations

  • First-run resource budget — 15+ containers; 4 GB RAM minimum, 8+ recommended
  • API key securitySERVICE_ROLE_KEY is god-mode; never expose to clients
  • RLS by default — enable on every table; otherwise data is public
  • Database backups critical — your app's source of truth
  • TLS production — front with reverse proxy (Caddy / nginx) for HTTPS
  • SMTP for auth emails — confirm/reset emails need SMTP wired
