Supabase

Supabase is an excellent alternative to Firebase, offering a robust set of features like real-time databases, authentication, and storage with a more open-source approach. One thing to note, though, is that apps may get suspended after a period of inactivity (like a week), which can be resolved by triggering a simple read request to reactivate the service. Overall, I’ve used Supabase in several freelancing projects and have been impressed by its scalability and ease of integration—great for both small and large applications.

I've always been drawn to MongoDB for its ease of schema updates in tables, but performance issues have been a constant challenge. However, Supabase allows for table updates just as swiftly while retaining all the advantages of PostgreSQL. The time required to deploy a new API has been reduced from several hours to just a few minutes. I can no longer imagine developing applications without Supabase.

It's such a solid environment to work in. Because, even at this stage, there's a lot of things you can have going at one time, they should do more to support the UX by helping the user understand how changes in one place can impact another service they may have running. Overall though, I feel like I'm working smarter (not just working more easily) when I'm using it.

Awesome product with great support. Especially useful in the beginning stages of a product. They provide so many things out-of-the-box: authentication, file storage, etc. When a project grows, I find myself replacing some supabase's pre-built solutions with custom solutions. Even then, it holds up great, as it's just a Postgres database under the hood.

Modern backend that’s quick to spin up and easy to maintain.
