Reviewer scorecard
“Auth, database, storage, edge functions, and vector search in one platform. For side projects and MVPs, Supabase eliminates the need for 5 different services.”
“Auto-discovers services from Docker labels or K8s ingress. Dynamic configuration without reloads is the killer feature.”
“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.”
“For Docker and K8s environments, Traefik's auto-discovery eliminates proxy configuration entirely.”
“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.”
“Service mesh and API gateway convergence is happening. Traefik is well-positioned at that intersection.”
