Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“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.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
“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.”
