Supabase

Supabase is a backend platform built on PostgreSQL. It packages the pieces most applications need at the start - a database, authentication, file storage, and realtime subscriptions - behind one dashboard and one set of client libraries. The database is the center of the product, not a hidden implementation detail. Tables are ordinary Postgres tables, row-level security policies are ordinary Postgres policies, and the dashboard exposes the SQL. A team can connect with any Postgres client, run migrations with any migration tool, and leave with its data intact. Around the database, Supabase adds services that would otherwise be separate vendors: authentication with social providers and row-level-security-aware sessions, object storage with access policies, edge functions for server-side code, and realtime channels for broadcasting row changes to connected clients. The open-source core is published in a public repository, and the hosted service and self-hosted deployment are documented side by side.
