What is Supabase?
Supabase is an open source backend platform built around a standard PostgreSQL database. It bundles authentication with email, OAuth, and SSO providers, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, file storage with access policies, globally distributed Edge Functions, and realtime data subscriptions. Because it is built on Postgres, developers get full SQL access along with extensions like pgvector for embeddings and PostGIS for geospatial data, rather than a proprietary database format.
Supabase targets developers and teams who want a Firebase-like developer experience without vendor lock-in, since projects can be self-hosted or exported. Pricing runs from a free tier for small projects through Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans that add compute, storage, longer log retention, and compliance features like SOC2 and HIPAA. The company is headquartered in Singapore and maintains an open source codebase on GitHub.
