Reviewer scorecard
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“The free tier is one of the most generous in the industry. The AI SQL editor is surprisingly good for non-SQL developers. Only concern: vendor lock-in on their specific Postgres extensions.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
“Supabase proves that open-source alternatives can match and exceed proprietary platforms. They're building Firebase, but better, and you can self-host if you want.”
