highlight how integrated auth, database, storage, and realtime help them ship faster without heavy infra. Other makers note local development feels cohesive and open-source reduces lock‑in. Common caveats: occasional finicky local DX, limited free‑tier capacity for heavier workloads, and a desire for clearer cross-service UX and longer function timeouts. Overall sentiment is strongly positive across hobby to production use.

Using Supabase for 2 years for both hobby and professional projects. It's an amazing all-in-one solution for database, auth and storage. Their integrations with Next, SvelteKit, Nuxt, etc. are very easy to implement and maintain.

(disclaimer: I joined supabase 3 months ago) I've been using it for 2 years for everything I've built and the experience is amazing. I always recommend it. As a frontend dev coming from Firebase and other BaaS tools I had to learn some SQL and RLS first but once I started getting the hang of it I couldn't use anything else, it's just too good. Best part is being able to use the parts of supabase that I need instead of opting in to a whole BaaS. I have some APIs that only use the database. I have an app that only uses storage (like a google drive for me). It integrates with many other tools, (nocode tools, ORMs, BI tools...)

I've been using Supabase since 2020. I faced a lot of frustrations with Firebase and wanted to switch to something better. That's when I discovered Supabase, and it has been a delight to use. They are very generous with their free tier, and it's so intuitive to use.

I've always been drawn to MongoDB for its ease of schema updates in tables, but performance issues have been a constant challenge. However, Supabase allows for table updates just as swiftly while retaining all the advantages of PostgreSQL. The time required to deploy a new API has been reduced from several hours to just a few minutes. I can no longer imagine developing applications without Supabase.

Migrated from Firebase to Supabase and never looked back. Supabase helped us scale beyond the limits of Firebase and more. The fact that it's built on top of Postgres and open-source makes its so transparent and extensible. Every new SaaS business should be built on top of Supabase.
