supabase: A Postgres development platform for building web, mobile, and AI applications.

What problem it solves

Application developers need database, authentication, APIs, realtime updates, functions, storage, and AI tooling without assembling each capability as a separate service. Supabase addresses this by combining open source tools into a hosted platform that can also be self-hosted or developed locally.

Key features

  • Hosted Postgres Database — Supabase provides a dedicated Postgres database as the foundation for application data.

    Source: README

  • Authentication and Authorization — The platform includes authentication and authorization capabilities, backed by a JWT-based API for user sign-ups, logins, and session management.

    Source: README

  • Auto-Generated APIs — Postgres schemas can be exposed through REST and GraphQL APIs, with realtime subscriptions for database changes.

    Source: README

  • Realtime Database Subscriptions — Realtime listens for Postgres inserts, updates, and deletes, converts the changes to JSON, and broadcasts them to authorized clients over websockets.

    Source: README

  • Functions, Storage, and AI Tooling — The platform includes database and edge functions, file storage backed by Postgres permissions, and an AI and vector/embeddings toolkit.

Who it may suit

Inference: Supabase may suit developers building web, mobile, or AI applications that need Postgres and common application services in one platform. It may also suit contributors who want to work on an open source collection of database, API, authentication, realtime, storage, and developer-tooling components.

Topics to discuss

  • Which hosted and self-hosted capabilities should be developed or documented together first?

  • How can the client-library experience remain consistent across official and community implementations?

  • Which open source tools should be integrated into the platform next?
