A nice alternative, are you supporting an ability to add Sign-in providers like firebase?

hey @nazar_nazar , we are still designing our client side auth model but we very much want it to be as easy to use if not easier than firebase, more news on this soon, thanks for checking us out
Nazar Kvyatkovsky
@antwilson Good luck guys đź‘Ť

Without a hosted option, perhaps you're missing the target market for Firebase? The whole point of Firebase is to NOT have to manage servers. Now there's a lot to like about Supabase as a lower cost replacement for Pubnub/Pusher. The functions integration looks super sweet too. Upvoted and will investigate as a low-cost realtime server!

@rayliverified we have a hosted option! Over at https://app.supabase.io
Kristian Gerardsson
@rayliverified That's not the only/"whole" point of Firebase :P Some ppl (including me) would be willing to manage a server
Ray Li
@copple Yay! Thanks for having that available for testing :)
Sigurd Seteklev
?makers Looks nice. Any plans for when you will be out of alpha/beta?

@kitemaker hard to give an exact date but we are building none-stop so will hopefully reach a v1 soon. In the mean time we are offering data backups and will be offering master-slave replicas very soon
Junaid Kabani
Great work! I'll add this to https://opensource.builders as a Firebase alternative.

@openshiporg thanks - awesome site!

Cool. Does it work only with Postgres ? No MySQL support planned in the future?

@csaba_kissi We're only Postgres (and no planned support for MySQL) simply because there are a lot of features that we would give up if we try to build for two databases. But we promise we'll make the switch easy!

Hi, @copple - Whats the advantage over Hasura? I've been using Hasura and really love it. Thanks!

@sarav1n Yeah Hasura is great. We have a different approach to a few things that we are building - specifically the way we handle real-time and (soon) auth and UX. Our platform is designed to get you going quickly too (you can sign up and query your database in less than 2 mins). Otherwise, Hasura a great tool and it deserves all the love it gets
sarav
@copple Thanks, would love to read about the advantages if you can reference any docs etc.

@sarav1n We'll definitely make something like this in the future. We're 5 months old so a lot of our differences are "coming soon". Once we've built everything we'll write up a good comparison to make it easier for developers to decide. Both are great options for developers, and having more options will be a huge win for the OSS community.

Looks cool. How do you handle ACL & security?

@amitava82 good quesiton. We want to nail the auth and we're looking at leveraging Postgres' native Row Level Security. This is a tricky task to "generalize" for all businesses but it's our biggest focus. From there, we can leverage PostgreSQL's user and role system. This means no lock-in if you want to migrate away - just take your database with you

I'm very excited about this. Can't wait to try it out!

Awesome work guys!

Beautiful and ambitious open source project. Very excited to see how this develops!
Divyanshu Negi
Great! Currently it supports only JS ? I am interested in Android, iOS and React Native clients contributions, have been using Firebase for 3 years now and recently started exploring amplify but the closed Ecosystem is not good for any Indie Dev. Kudos again

@divyanshunegi Hey Divyanshu, we also have Rust and Python ready to go. I hear you about mobile sdk support - you can vote for our next sdks here and even add a new one: https://github.com/supabase/supa...

Super excited about this. Can't wait to try it out!
Broda Noel
I will test it for sure. Please add the f**** “or” query that doesn’t exist in Firebase. That will be enough for me to migrate.
Gorka Molero
Looks really good, worth considering. What about plug and play framework implementations, such as reactfire or angularfire? Is there something like this for Supabase? What about GraphQL? Is this only RESTful? One of the major points of firebase are firebase functions, is there a plan for this?

It would be cool to use this product as mvp for a push advertising network
Friedeline Hustenkrähe
This is awesome!
