supabase
Alternative to Firebase
Supabase is a backend platform built around PostgreSQL, integrating authentication, real-time subscriptions, storage, and Edge Functions. It provides a self-hostable alternative to Firebase with the power of a relational database.
- Managed PostgreSQL with row-level security (RLS) built in
- Authentication supporting email/password, OAuth providers, magic links, and MFA
- Real-time WebSocket subscriptions for instant database change propagation
- S3-compatible file storage with image resizing and format conversion
- Edge Functions powered by Deno for serverless compute at the edge
- Auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs from PostgreSQL schema via PostgREST
Built with TypeScript and Elixir, Supabase supports Docker self-hosting alongside a managed cloud service. Unlike Firebase, its SQL-based foundation lets teams leverage existing PostgreSQL skills and tooling.
