Supabase

An open-source Firebase alternative built on Postgres, giving teams a real relational database with a managed backend layer.

Discuss your project

Supabase gives us Firebase-style convenience — auth, storage, real-time subscriptions, auto-generated APIs — on top of a real Postgres database, which means clients aren't locked into a proprietary NoSQL data model as their product grows.

We choose Supabase over Firebase when a project's data is genuinely relational, or when a client wants the option to self-host or migrate off the platform without a data-model rewrite.
