About Supabase
Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform built on PostgreSQL. It bundles a managed Postgres database, authentication (email, OAuth, magic link), file storage, edge functions, and realtime subscriptions into a single hosted service accessible via auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs. It is popular with full-stack developers and startups who want the power of Postgres without infrastructure management. The platform is open-source and can be self-hosted.
