Reviewer scorecard
“Git-based deploys, serverless functions, and the Edge network are solid. Great for static and JAMstack sites.”
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“Vercel has pulled ahead for React/Next.js projects. Netlify is good but no longer the default choice.”
“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.”
“Vercel's framework-first approach and AI features are winning developer mindshare. Netlify needs a new differentiator.”
“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.”
