Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“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.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“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.”
