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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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.
