Our drawings go supa-hard, Supabase made the DB and auth supa-easy.
Helps power authentication and real-time data layers.
Supabase's generouse free tier powered my small app, and the easy integration saves me a lot of time
Supabase gives us PostgreSQL, authentication, and storage in one platform. We chose it over Firebase because we needed full SQL power and better pricing at scale. The developer experience is fantastic, and real-time subscriptions work out of the box.
Shoutout to Supabase - it’s the backbone of Moodfol.io. From authentication to database storage, everything just works beautifully. I’ve tried other backends, but Supabase strikes the perfect balance between power and simplicity. The real-time updates and Postgres foundation make it feel enterprise-grade without the complexity. For a solo builder, it’s like having a full dev team quietly handling the heavy lifting. Couldn’t imagine building without it.
Our trusted backend — fast, secure, and easy to integrate. Supabase gave us the flexibility of Postgres with the simplicity of a modern API, letting us build and iterate quickly.
This is the best way to handle all the user management backend. We still have a separate backend for AI, but Supabase made our lives a lot easier for the users.
Supabase makes it easy to handle authentication and lightweight data syncing for small projects.
Supabase made it very easy for us to add user management.
Supabase handles auth, database, and storage with built-in security — ideal for early SaaS projects without managing servers
Handles our PostgreSQL database with pgvector extension, plus authentication. Saved months of infrastructure work and made vector search affordable.
Gave me a full backend (auth, database, realtime) without writing a single line of backend code. As an Android dev building my first web app, this was a lifesaver.
Supabase makes it incredibly easy to set up a secure and scalable backend without the heavy lifting. I love how it combines a Postgres database, authentication, and storage in one simple platform with an open-source mindset.
