#OpenSourceDiscovery 71: Supabase
Open-Source alternative to Firebase
Today I discovered…
Supabase
A Backend as a service that provides APIs for real-time database operations, authentication, file storage, etc. built on top of PostgreSQL
💖 What I like:
Edge Functions: Being able to quickly create serverless functions is a superpower for makers in shipping fast
As an alternative to Firebase, saves money and gives full control of data
👎 What I dislike:
Overwhelming to start. Although docs are good, they could have been better for beginners. The first thing I want to understand is the use case that I might want to use Supabase for
Compared to Firebase, the features are limited and it doesn’t feel right to use some of the features e.g. auth when there are dedicated auth services (OSS as well as cloud)
The concept of Backend as service is too big to make it effective for production-ready cases. But it does have its own utility.
