Supabase
Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative that gives you a Postgres database, authentication, instant APIs, and realtime subscriptions out of the box.
About Supabase
Supabase bills itself as the open source Firebase alternative, and it delivers on that promise by wrapping a PostgreSQL database with a suite of developer tools. You get a fully managed Postgres instance, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, realtime subscriptions via WebSockets, built-in authentication with support for 15+ providers, and serverless edge functions. The platform also includes a storage layer for files, a vector database for AI embeddings, and a dashboard to manage everything from your browser. Because it is built on Postgres, you can use the full power of SQL, PostGIS for geospatial queries, and any Postgres extension. The core services are open source and licensed under Apache 2.0, so you can self-host with Docker or use their cloud offering. The company behind it, Supabase Inc., was founded by Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson and has grown rapidly since launching in 2020. It is a solid pick if you want a managed Postgres backend without paying Firebase prices or locking into Google Cloud.
