Postgres platform delivering Firebase-like features with open-source tools
Supabase offers a hosted Postgres database with built-in auth, auto-generated REST/GraphQL APIs, realtime subscriptions, edge functions, storage, and AI tooling—all managed via a unified dashboard.
Supabase is a developer‑focused platform that turns PostgreSQL into a full‑stack backend, mirroring the ease‑of‑use found in Firebase while remaining open source. It provides a hosted Postgres instance, instant REST and GraphQL APIs via PostgREST and pg_graphql, JWT‑based authentication, realtime change listeners, file storage, edge functions, and an AI/vector toolkit.
Ideal for developers and teams that want SQL control, rapid prototyping, and the flexibility to self‑host or use a managed service. The modular client libraries—officially supporting JavaScript/TS, Flutter, Swift, and Python, with community contributions for many other languages—make integration straightforward across web, mobile, and server environments.
Start instantly by signing up for a hosted project, or clone the open‑source stack to run locally or on your own cloud infrastructure. The unified dashboard simplifies configuration, while the underlying components (Realtime, GoTrue, Kong, etc.) remain accessible for custom extensions.
When teams consider Supabase, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
