It provided authentication, database, storage, and hosting in a single package — but at a cost: vendor lock-in to Google&rsquo;s proprietary ecosystem, NoSQL data modeling that broke down for relational data, and a pricing model that became expensive at scale.</p> <p>Supabase emerged as the answer to every Firebase frustration. It wraps PostgreSQL — the world&rsquo;s most advanced open-source relational database — with a Firebase-like developer experience. Authentication, realtime subscriptions, file storage, and serverless functions are all built on PostgreSQL&rsquo;s native capabilities. The result is a backend platform that offers the convenience of Firebase with the power and flexibility of relational databases.</p>
