Supabase

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that provides developers with a set of tools to build, manage, and scale applications. It aims to simplify the process of setting up a backend by offering various services out of the box, similar to Firebase, but with an emphasis on open standards and flexibility.

  3. Authentication: Built-in authentication system supporting email/password, OAuth providers (Google, GitHub), and custom auth systems.

  4. Storage: Offers scalable storage for managing media files like images and videos, ideal for handling user uploads.

  5. RESTful API: Automatically generates RESTful APIs based on your database schema for easy interaction with the backend.

  6. Edge Functions: Serverless functions that allow you to write custom backend logic without managing servers.

  7. Open-Source: Fully open-source, enabling hosting on your own infrastructure and avoiding vendor lock-in.
