echo its reliability. Common threads: strong local workflow, great React/React Native integrations, and transparent, open-source flexibility. Quibbles include finicky local setup at first, limited free-tier capacity for heavy use, and occasional docs discoverability gaps."

Supabase

to build HookLens

•3 reviews

As a solo builder I needed auth, database, and row-level security without managing infrastructure. Supabase gave me all of that with a generous free tier and I had it running in an afternoon.

Handles auth, database, and real-time everything. Went from zero to production database in an afternoon — couldn't imagine building this without it.

We chose Supabase to power our backend, and it’s been a solid foundation. The local DX can be a bit finicky to set up at first, but having Auth, DB, and Storage integrated into one Postgres ecosystem saved us from a lot of infrastructure headache. It's a pragmatic choice for getting to market fast.

to build Yap-It

Supabase was the obvious choice for YapIt's backend. The Next.js SSR integration made setting up auth and database interactions completely seamless. Having PostgreSQL out of the box means we never have to worry about scaling as our transcriptions grow. Incredible DevEx

Supabase gives us Postgres, auth, row-level security, and real-time subscriptions in one managed layer - which is exactly what a multi-tenant SaaS needs out of the box. JWT validation with JWKS, Fernet-encrypted OAuth credentials, per-org row-level security - all native. For an early-stage solo founder, that's months of infrastructure I didn't have to build. If we outgrow it, everything underneath is just Postgres - zero lock-in.
