“You often have limited time, so I strongly suggest using Supabase, Firebase, Appwrite, or another BaaS and focusing on actually building the product.”
LakhindarPal · reddit ·
“Supabase is fine for this, and Stripe Connect does not inherently require Lovable Cloud or external Supabase. The important part is keeping Connect account creation, transfers, and webhook processing in secured server-side functions, with idempotency and strict RLS.”

BreezeUrGod · reddit ·

Ok-Organization5910 · reddit ·
“I recently started using Supabase and am setting up two companies. I’m on the free plan and need to configure the backend for the second company. If I create a new project under the same login account used for the first company's backend, will they share the free plan's monthly active user limit of 50,000?”

investnovation · reddit ·
“The way it works is that when your client does writes, it first writes to local storage and a background process syncs local storage with your backend, which in turn persists data into supabase.”

NewJazz · hn ·
“I’d make the Supabase vs. Lovable Cloud decision based on what Stripe Connect actually requires for your architecture, rather than assuming a marketplace automatically needs to move. And seriously, build one complete transaction/workflow end-to-end before adding a million features.”
DeannaFry · reddit ·
“Supabase under the hood is not the problem.”
Maximus-dev · reddit ·
“This looks pretty nice though, it’s cool that you’re thinking about ergonomics for working with coding agents. I feel like a hard thing with that rn is that everyone is kind of figuring out different workflows for AI coding right now so it’s hard to optimize DX.”
rgbrgb · hn ·
“Same shape as the SELECT-hides-UPDATE trap: everything in pg_policies looks correct, the cross-tenant fixture passes because it runs as the app's normal role, and none of it tells you whether a migration, an admin script, or a Supabase service_role client that happens to run as the table owner is silently exempt from every policy you just proved works.”

“Tell customers you made a choice to use Supabase”

Current_Software2984 · reddit ·

monde_2001 · reddit ·
“Use supabase.com cloud first and connect it wth lovable. Don’t use or enable Lovable Cloud - you don’t need it at all.”
StefanTrajkov · reddit ·
“i’m kind of skeptical because lovable doesn’t have their own database infrastructure (they use supabase “under the hood”) and was wondering if that’s an issue or not.”
Fragrant_Match1599 · reddit ·
“The bigger question is *where* you’d move and whether the reliability issue is actually Supabase itself or a specific dependency/configuration.”
Mental-Union4473 · reddit ·
“What is a sensible Supabase Storage model for AI-generated artifacts that need review and cleanup?”
RocketSeven · reddit ·
“lovable cloud doesn't give you the postgres connection string or service role key, so i'm assuming you'd have to do lovable cloud → supabase managed → self-hosted as two steps. or did you find a way around that?”

“This was my first stab at a live activity. Backend running through Supabase.”
JordanMorgan10 · x ·
“This usually isn’t Supabase but AWS (not just now but a lot of the issues come from AWS). Most providers now also use AWS unless you want to self host.”
ashkanahmadi · reddit ·
“Free projects get paused after a week of “inactivity”. They won’t tell you what level of activity is needed to keep the project active, but from your description it sounds like your project is impacted by this policy. You should be able to unpause it from the project settings page.”

SourSovereign · reddit ·
“Now that I have this ready, I was finally able to extract all of my remaining Supabase/Lovable apps and save 25-50$/mo on each one 😎”
sw3d · reddit ·
“Are there any mainstream apps running on supabase? I never took it seriously enough to even consider it for anything because I always saw it in the context of a simple bootstrapping backend for code camps and vibe coders.”
YourMatt · reddit ·
“is there even a difference in using supabase vs neon vs planetscale?”
LukeberryPi · x ·
“I’ve never loved the idea of things like like supabase. It’s more work to run vanilla, and the same kinds of problems still occur, but at least you move more of those problems into areas you control.”

“supabase's own log retention on the lower tiers is short, we're talking single-digit days. if this happened even a week before anyone noticed, the evidence can be gone by the time you go looking, independent of whether it turns out to be RLS, a leaked key, or a cascade.”

“Hi guys, I've been working on this small side project for anomaly detection in supabase dbs and just wanted some feedback for feature ideas and other improvements. Thanks!”
