Supabase
Supabase is an open-source Backend as a service (BaaS) platform that provides developers with a hosted PostgreSQL database, authentication, real-time subscriptions, file storage, and serverless edge functions. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to Firebase and is notable for its integration with PostgreSQL and its focus on developer-friendly, open-source tooling.[1]
History
Supabase was founded in 2020 by Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson.[1] It participated in the Y Combinator startup accelerator program and has since grown rapidly as a developer-focused alternative to proprietary backend services.
The company has raised more than US$116 million in venture capital,[2] with investors including Coatue, Mozilla, Felicis Ventures, and Y Combinator, alongside individual backers from GitHub, Docker, Netlify, and Vercel.
Features
Supabase provides several integrated backend services:
- Database: Managed PostgreSQL with REST and GraphQL APIs.
- Authentication: User sign-up, sign-in, and access management.
- Realtime: Real-time subscriptions using PostgreSQL's `LISTEN`/`NOTIFY`.
- Storage: File and object storage with configurable access policies.
- Edge Functions: Serverless functions deployed close to the user for low-latency execution.
Community and adoption
As of 2025, Supabase reports over 1.7 million registered developers and a large open-source contributor base, with over 79,000 GitHub stars.[3] The platform is used by startups, independent developers, and teams at established tech companies.
