“I thought supabase was mainly for self hosting? Like it was self-hostable firebase... Not too familiar with it though.”
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.”

“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”
gavlois1 · reddit ·
“According to the docs it cannot be recovered.”

“So use external Supabase. That’s what I do for all my bigger projects”
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.”
Blue-Shoe-2222 · reddit ·
“Replit’s AI said to investigate Supabase limits and add Cloudflare capture to my main registration form, of which I did and still no better.”
setsp3800 · reddit ·
“Facebook...randomly removing access....GitHub down every other day...SupaBase now...I could go on.”
the_ai_wizard · reddit ·
“I think supabase is just pure trash. never understood the point of writing functions in database ugh. had to do that crap at my job 1 1/2 years back.”
clemwo · reddit ·
“Supabase is one of those default tech stacks resources that LLMs will suggest. Not sure if there is any correlation but …”
rbad8717 · reddit ·
“is your solution even usable when supabase is managed by lovable and you dont know the URL and password of postgres ??”
gilluc · reddit ·
“I hear Pocketbase is a good open source alternative. That said, I think you can self host Supabase too but it might miss some features?”
DOG-ZILLA · reddit ·
“I mean, technically you can supabase yourself any time you want”
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.”
jake_robins · reddit ·
“Why hasn't Supabase just unleashed the latest model on the issue?”
creaturefeature16 · reddit ·
“No update to Supabase outage since 9 hours ago and still hitting issues. Not sure what to tell customers”
myelephantweb · reddit ·
“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.”
jaimittal91 · reddit ·
“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!”
SpecialistFlan5482 · reddit ·
“They could buy Vercel, Supabase, and CodeRabbit tomorrow and complete corner the stack”

“Support identified the cause within hours — a billing restriction that was never lifted after payment — and escalated it to their Billing team yesterday afternoon. Since then: 24 hours of silence, and no ETA despite asking three times.”
Jereff · hn ·
“Also a lot of people I talked to were never use Veeam or Commvault, since they run Postgres on RDS, Supabase, or a simple VM. And even where the tooling exists, it's usually a separate infra tam running it, not the people who actually own this one database, so it never gets wired up for this specific check anyway.”
ahmadpiran · hn ·
“seen this 4 times - 90% it's RLS or exposed service key, not a bug.”
Intelligent-Fix8911 · reddit ·
“I’m facing an unexpected issue with my Supabase database.”
bxmbshr · reddit ·
“Its just a postgres db like any other, if you dont use proper constraints it does not matter if its running on supabase, aws, neon, loally or whatever”
Due-Horse-5446 · reddit ·
“Supabase's advisors flag the first one for you.”
Specific-Maize7276 · reddit ·
“Its free, open source, works with Postgres and Supabase.”
pgsql-dev2 · reddit ·
“Hi everyone, I’ve been using Supabase for a few months now. I’ve built things like apps, websites and multi-tenant software with it, and I wanted to know if you have any tips or advice on properly isolating tenants from one another, in order to avoid data leaks between clients, Gmail sends going to the wrong recipient, etc.”
kYza782 · reddit ·
“I usually use pgtap and test every policy is working as expected. Imo supabase still needs as much care as every other backend, supabase just makes it simpler.”

dshukertjr · x ·
“Remember having this exact thought when building things earlier this year, the agent pushed me to Supabase or Cloudflare etc depending on what the project was. I imagine much of the alpha has been extracted but things are changing to rapidly, probably not.”
firesidealpha · x ·
“But As other said Supabase+ custom frontend is easy to do with Claude code especially for small internal apps.”
Professional-Day-336 · reddit ·
“the database is built in, so you dont have to run a separate supabase/xano setup just for a simple internal tool. you can actually see and work with the tables too, which i found useful as a non-dev.”

“added shared memopry across my AI and computers with Supabase login.. and its one login shared across my apps.. not sure how smart is that, but it works 😅”
