Overview
Supabase is an open-source Postgres development platform that gives developers a complete backend in minutes. Every project is a full Postgres database, the world's most trusted relational database, paired with a suite of production-ready services that integrate seamlessly into a single dashboard.
Developers love Supabase because it eliminates the glue code between a database and the rest of the application stack. Authentication, file storage, real-time subscriptions, edge functions, and vector search are all built in, so teams can ship full-stack products without stitching together multiple vendors. The platform is 100% portable, meaning you can export your Postgres data and move it anywhere without lock-in.
With a generous free tier, a polished dashboard, and first-class SDKs for React, Next.js, Flutter, and React Native, Supabase has become the default backend for fast-growing startups and AI-powered applications alike.
