PostgreSQL
An advanced open-source relational database with strong support for complex queries, JSON, and geospatial data.
Discuss your projectPostgreSQL matches MySQL's reliability while adding stronger support for complex queries, full-text search, JSON columns, and geospatial data via PostGIS — useful for projects with more advanced data requirements.
We choose Postgres over MySQL specifically when a project needs those advanced features, or when it's already the standard on a platform we're building on top of, like Supabase.
How we use PostgreSQL
Complex querying
Projects that benefit from advanced SQL features, window functions, and full-text search.
Geospatial data
Location-based features using PostGIS for proximity and mapping queries.
Supabase-backed apps
The database layer underneath Supabase projects.
More database technologies
MongoDB
A flexible document database we use when a project's data doesn't map cleanly to rigid relational tables.
MySQL
A reliable, widely supported relational database that powers most of our production backends, including this site.
Redis
An in-memory data store we use for caching, session storage, and rate limiting to keep applications fast under load.
