Postgres backend-as-a-service for modern apps.

I switched from Firebase to Supabase because I wanted a real relational database (Postgres). It has been a dream. I can write complex SQL queries, use Row Level Security for granular permissions, and the auto-generated API saves me from writing backend boilerplate. The dashboard is beautiful and intuitive.

Supabase gives you a raw Postgres instance, which is great power but also responsibility. Unlike Firebase's NoSQL store, you have to think about migrations, indexes, and vacuuming. The platform helps, but you can't be completely ignorant of database management. For the price (and the generous free tier), it's unbeatable.

The built-in pgvector support meant I didn't need a separate vector database (like Pinecone) for my AI app. I keep my embeddings right next to my user data. It simplifies my stack immensely. The new AI wrapper for generating SQL queries is also surprisingly helpful.
