Supabase

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

Supabase is Firebase but built on real Postgres SQL. You get a database, auth, file storage, and real-time updates all in one. It is the vibecoder's dream because you get a full backend by clicking a few buttons.

Real Talk

Supabase is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service platform built on PostgreSQL. It provides a hosted Postgres database, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication, real-time subscriptions via WebSockets, and edge functions. It is often described as the open-source Firebase alternative.
