Decision guide
When to choose Supabase
- You're building an MVP and need a complete backend without a dedicated DevOps hire
- Real-time features — Supabase Realtime is the easiest path to live updates
- Multi-tenant SaaS — RLS policies make data isolation straightforward
- PostgreSQL expertise on the team — Supabase is just Postgres under the hood
Honest trade-offs
Limitations to know
- Free tier limits will be hit by any product with real traffic — plan for paid tier costs
- Supabase Edge Functions have cold start latency — not suitable for latency-sensitive endpoints
- Migration from Supabase to self-hosted Postgres is possible but requires care with RLS policies

FAQ
Common questions
Supabase vs Firebase?+
Supabase uses PostgreSQL — relational data, complex queries, and row-level security. Firebase uses Firestore — document-based, strong real-time, simpler initial setup but harder to query. I recommend Supabase for most apps because SQL scales better with product complexity.
