Browse all definitionsIn detail
Supabase is a developer focused alternative to Firebase, built on Postgres rather than a proprietary store. It provides authentication, instant REST and GraphQL APIs, row level security, storage, real time subscriptions and edge functions. Supabase is the default backend for many AI builders including Lovable and is widely used for Australian SMB applications because it is straightforward, well documented and has predictable pricing.
