After a 4 year beta period, Supabase is now Generally Available. Whether you’re an indie hacker or a Fortune 500 company, Supabase now scales to any workload, and more than a third of the current YC are building with Supabase.

During the first year of Supabase we set ourselves a goal: build a managed service capable of running 1 million databases, securely, and with minimal downtime. After a couple of years we were happy that we’d successfully built out infrastructure and a team capable of achieving that goal. We slowly started to phase out the β€œbeta” messaging and set ourselves a more ambitious goal. We dreamed of building the backend for every application on the web. This required us to expand on the tooling we'd built around Postgres offering into products like Auth, Realtime, Vector and more. The promise of Supabase today is that you can spin up a complete backend in a weekend and scale it up to millions of users, all without leaving the Supabase dashboard. Supabase is, and always will be, free to start and fully open source. We have an extensive collection of client side libraries and SDKs for every developer ecosystem. Regardless of whether you're building for web, mobile, or data science you'll find that Supabase is a quick and painless way to store and access your data. Come and get involved in the community today!

@antwilson I vividly remember meeting @copple and yourself for the first time and telling y'all that this was a terrible idea with all that SQL πŸ˜… It took me a while to understand the mission, and now, after four years of contributing to Supabase, I've learned so much about Postgres and SQL and I'm very grateful that you didn't listen to me and instead doubled down on making Postgres accessible to everyone. If you also believe in Supabase, we welcome you as a contributor as part of our amazing community, which is also the best way to get the foot in the door if you're interested in a career at Supabase πŸ‘‰ https://supabase.com/careers

@schaeff_t I love hearing the story of how you found out about Supabase by bumping into the guys at a cafe in Singapore. One day, that cafe is going to be a tourist spot for sure πŸš€

@milkers Parse was a big inspiration for us! Amazing tool.

@antwilson the biggest problem with that and alike was the vendor lock-in issue. Supabase seems more promising on that front plus it is advocating for being 'open source', those are great traits. We, indie hackers, need reasonably priced and reliable backend services that we can build upon. So that we stay alive without being sucked into the infamous Bermuda Triangle; aws-gcs-azr.

Great tool for developers! @antwilson Supabase is now ready for developers of all sizes, from indie hackers to Fortune 500 companies. With Supabase, scalability is no longer an issue, and it's exciting to see that more than a third of the current YC are building with Supabase. What new features or improvements can users expect now that Supabase is Generally Available? Looking forward to seeing how Supabase continues to empower developers!

Does that mean I can finally migrate to Supabase? 🫣 Congrats on the launch team! Excited for hanging with y'all in SG soon πŸ”₯

LFG Supabase! This shows the true power of open source and postgres and what a great community can do. Supabase was already amazing before this and I didn't even know it wasn't GA until recently πŸ˜…

This has been 3 years in the making. Supabase is the most reliable, secure and scalable platform to host your Postgres database.
Tyler Shukert
@everconfusedguy Managing storage objects through Postgres is such a brilliant idea! It made things so much easier for mobile app developers like myself!
Marco Napoli
A huge congratulations on today's announcements and going GA. I also would like to point out that your support team has been great at answering my questions.
Peter Pistorius
Congrats on going GA!

Supabase is, by far, one of my fav products. It was a great call moving our production DB over from AWS-hosted postgres. Copplestone and team have been nothing short of amazing in terms of customer service. Absolutely my go to for my next several products - esp since they keep shipping new features! Grateful to be a user, wish I could be an investor! Thanks team, keep it up!
Anthony Trimble
By far, it's the best back-end service tool out there. You get the DB, auth, storage, solid security, and so much more. I sound like I work there, lol, but I do not. I'm just a front-end developer who did not want to learn tons of backend/db stuff, and I'm a person who has watched this service grow over the years! I'm looking forward to rolling out my new project soon on Supabase and to the next one I build with it. Would recommend!
Tyler McGinnis
I've been a huge fan of Supabase (both the product and team) for years now. Stoked to finally see it go GA. Congrats everyone!

For me, discovering Supabase was like a caveman discovering fire. Congratulations on the launch to the whole team and everyone who’s contributed along the way 🫑

I'm pumped and unsurprised to see so much community support! We haven't released our Shoutouts leaderboard yet, but Supabase is the #4 most-shouted-out product on Product Hunt (close behind Figma, OpenAI, Vercel). The data backs up what you can tell from talking with everyone from indie makers to YC founders - people love Supabase. Congrats on GA y'all! πŸš€

πŸ’‘ Bright idea
If you're not building apps with Supabase -- what are you doing? If not using Supabase you are most likely: - Wasting time and money on building "backends." - Creating an Auth system -- again -- from scratch. - Using a database that promises "scale" but doesn't deliver, asks for a ton of money and makes your developers feel sick. So, in the end, just use Supabase -- and it really is just Postgres.

😹 LOL
@stndim @kangmingtay I switched to Supabase because my developers kept getting sick. Since we switched we have had zero issues and it has been 34 days since I was covered in vomit.

Congrats on the updates to Supabase! The new features you've announced sound amazing, and I'm super excited to try them out. Are there any plans to further expand Supabase's real-time capabilities or offer pre-built integrations with popular frontend frameworks?
Ethan Sherbondy
Congrats folks! Love to see the Swift client going official, excited to use for my future visionOS shenanigans. Definitely remains the most turnkey way to go from 0 to pgHero in a matter of minutes!
Raghav Arora
This is great! I already defaulted to supabase for all my apps and this makes it even better Congrats @antwilson @copple
Taishi Kato
Congrats on the launch! I've been using Supabase for a couple of years now and I'd say Supabase is the best platform for developers like me! really looking forward to seeing the future of Supabase!
