With Supabase, I didn't need to reinvent the wheel. After researching different authentication standards, it became clear to me that this was the best and safest option for my customers.

Most of my initial customers are using Supabase to get their application kick-started. They were looking for a quick and easy way to move data between their local and staging environments. Looking to partner in the future to offer it as a more integrated solution! Thanks for building what you are, it's a great platform.

It was super easy to set up an account and get started with authentication. Integrating the authentication in my website was super straight forward. I initially only wanted to use the authentication but decided to opt in for the Postgres Storage and the Storage as well. Row-Level-Security really makes life easier.
