Overview

Supabase combines a Postgres database with backend services for applications. Developers can manage data visually or with SQL, add account access, serve files and build realtime features while configuring permissions for their application.1 2 3

What you can do

Use a full Postgres database for relational application data.2
Add user registration and login to an application.1
Store and serve large files such as images and video.1
Build features that synchronise application data in real time.1
Run custom backend code through Edge Functions.1
Manage tables through a visual editor or work with SQL in the dashboard.2

Get started

Create a project in the dashboard and use the React quickstart’s sample table to test the connection.3
Configure row access policies for real application data, and put credentials in deployment environment variables.3

Ways to use it

Ideas based on documented features.

Build a product backend that needs relational records, user accounts and uploaded files.1
Prototype a data-driven React application with the documented project and sample-data tutorial.3

Before you start

Database backups do not include objects held through the Storage API; plan protection for those files separately.2
Keep credentials out of source control and review row policies for production data.3
