What people previously said about Supabase

“People use supabase for convience, to see data, make changes, see analytivs etc. Most cloud providers dont have these.”

“Supabase is "just Postgres", that is, we use standard Postgres as a base, but we also provide a dashboard for developers to make Postgres easier to use, a set of APIs that can become the basis of your application development, and some additional services such as edge functions.”

“It’s the auth + db bundle that makes it worth while for me. Also supabase is just Postgres, so I can migrate to better infra if I ever decide to scale.”

“I don't understand why you're mentioning supabase and PHP in the same sentence.”

“With Supabase you pay them to manage all that for you. Time is money.”

“Is supabase still a thing?”

“The only Supabase‑specific pieces are the helper functions tied to their auth system, which can be replaced without rewriting the policies themselves.”

“Are there good reasons to use something like supabase instead?”

“I use supabase for only auth and handle all else internally. Has been working pretty well.”

“I'll never use Supabase primarily because their CEO thought it was fun to dunk on PHP (just what is the point of that?”

“I’m optimizing for the latter as a small team, not claiming Supabase has the lowest possible TCO at every scale.”

“I am building an app that uses Supabase and Vercel as main stack. It seems easy, but it's easier to ruin your RLS policies.”

“Anyone self-hosting Supabase? Worth it, or did the ops cost eat the savings?”

“How do you handle infrastructure and devops without supabase? Where do you deploy while keeping things secure?”

“Supabase is a weak choice to build a clean codebase with proper separation of concerns and CI/CD.”

“Pick your backend: Supabase Firebase AWS Build everything yourself”

“and Supabase is OP - stick to it.”

“I now know things like GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, API keys, JSON, abcefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”

“Build with Next Js and Supabase.”

“Supabase is fundamentally Postgres, so your database competence takes center stage. You do not need to write intricate PL/pgSQL algorithms on the spot, but you must know how to dissect real production bottlenecks.”

“I use both Supabase and Vercel, and saw some people complaining about unexpected charges from Vercel, and some people recommending not using it including Supabase.”

“Why is everyone switching from Supabase to Convex?”

“I keep a log of my Supabase migrations to see whether the schema is settling down or only feels that way. Eleven weeks, 41 files in supabase/migrations.”

“You have redis, mongo, an RDBMS container, an analytics db, kafka, all the kafka tooling like bookkeeper, then you have outsourced auth liek clerk or supabase (when the whole thing is not just some supabase chimera with edge functions and whatever else supabase is supposed to run outside your infra).”

“- Postgres databases (Supabase)”

“Stack is Flutter on the front end and Supabase (Postgres, realtime subscriptions, edge functions) on the back end.”

“I have stopped using Supabase…. And I am already migrating existing projects from using Supabase, except the one already trapped. Everything Supabase offers is cheaper on my own infrastructure: Auth, storage, cron, Postgres, edge functions, database functions….”

“what are you using for the review interface? something custom or just supabase's built-in table editor? been thinking about reworking our hitl step and curious what felt smooth on the operator side”

“Add the supabase skills to your harness and ask your agent to check Supabase Advisor.”

“Where do you prefer to host your database? - Supabase - Neon - Turso - Railway - MongoDB Atlas - AWS RDS - Self-hosted - Firebase”

“Has anyone successfully deployed a Next.js 16 + Supabase app to Cloudflare Workers using OpenNext?”

“The open-source Firebase that people actually switch to.”

“isn't that the sort of thing the supabase advisor flags, how do u miss it?”

“Upgrading from @MongoDB => @supabase”

“I’m not entirely sure this isn’t a troll anymore but on the off chance it isn’t, your best bet is to contact supabase support.”

“So many questions, supabase is a cloud service. Were you just using it for local storage?”

“During the process, it somehow decided to run `npx supabase db reset`(wiped my local database clean)”

“I built an AI agent for a home maintenance company using Gemini API + Supabase for conversation storage. The baseline prompt engineering wasn't enough — generic responses, poor context retention.”

“1. Supabase 2. Cloudflare 3. Convex”

“Supabase stores our internal datasets (companies,”

“does it connect to a naked postgres server or only to a self-hosted supabase deployment (which is a lot more than just postgres) ?”

“Like i would never recommend self hosting if you're even thinking about it. Its great until some update messes up compat”

“I don't think it wins for anything the moment you go self-hosted, unless you already have a deeply integrated product or know exactly why you're going to build on the supabase stack over other options.”

“A quick and easy check is, ask Lovable to tell whether it uses the Supabase Publishable key or the Anon key.”

“pretty sure this is a schema sync issue with lovable... if you edit tables in supabase directly without resyncing, the generated types break. try re-exporting the types file-”

“Bug testing is a job for a reason. Your issue is not just isolated to supabase.”

“Was testing my own Supabase project and found that even with RLS "enabled," a normal logged-in user could still pull up other people's profiles, orders, and account details just by poking around. Nothing warned me, dashboard looked totally fine.”

“Made with @supabase btw”

“The developer clouds: @convex, @neondatabase, @supabase”

“Supabase and Vercel both have free tiers (no subscription needed at your size), but the move itself is the risk, not the cost.”
