Decision brief
Primarily considered for applications needing a dedicated PostgreSQL environment with added features like authentication and real-time data synchronization.
Good fit when
- - When developing AI applications that require seamless integration with a PostgreSQL database through websockets for a real-time experience
- - For projects requiring straightforward implementation of OAuth2 authentication and authorization directly tied into the database layer without additional setup
Avoid when
- - In scenarios where a highly customizable database backend is required with deep control over every aspect; Supabase offers limited customization beyond its defined set of features
- - For projects wanting to avoid tightly coupling their authentication and authorization schemes within the same system as data storage, as Supabase integrates both closely
- Pricing:
- freemium - Offers free plans with paid tiers for additional capacity and enterprise features.
- Requirements:
- Supports deployment in multiple cloud environments including AWS, DigitalOcean, and Vercel

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
