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.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“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.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“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.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
