Pengalaman Saya
Supabase is my default backend for new projects. Getting a full Postgres database with auth, storage, and realtime in under 5 minutes is incredible. The fact that it's open-source gives me confidence.
The developer experience is solid. The client libraries are well-documented, and the SQL editor in the dashboard is genuinely useful. I especially appreciate being able to write raw SQL — something you can't do with Firebase.
My one complaint is the realtime feature. It works for simple cases but can be flaky with complex queries. For production realtime needs, I'd use a dedicated service instead.
Kelebihan
- +Full Postgres database (not NoSQL — you can use SQL)
- +Built-in authentication, storage, and realtime subscriptions
- +Excellent free tier: 500MB database, 1GB storage, 50K monthly active users
Kekurangan
- −Realtime features can be unreliable under load
- −Row Level Security has a learning curve
- −Dashboard can be slow with large datasets
Paling Cocok Untuk
Indie developers who want a backend without managing servers.
