Supavisor is a high-performance, multi-tenant Postgres connection pooler built in Elixir. Alternative to PgBouncer for cloud-native environments.
Reviewer scorecard
“Killing the free tier was a dealbreaker. Neon offers similar DX with Postgres and a generous free tier.”
“Multi-tenant connection pooling for Postgres at scale. Elixir's concurrency model is perfect for this use case.”
“Great technology but the business decisions have eroded developer trust. The free tier removal sent a clear signal.”
“PgBouncer works fine for most use cases. Supavisor matters for Supabase-scale multi-tenant deployments.”
“Vitess is incredible tech but the market has moved toward serverless Postgres. PlanetScale's MySQL bet looks increasingly niche.”
“Cloud-native connection pooling is essential infrastructure. Supavisor solves it at the right abstraction level.”
