Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“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.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
“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.”
