Supabase
Postgres with auth, storage, realtime and generated APIs around it. The database is the product, not an abstraction over one.
It is just Postgres, which is the whole argument.
What it is sold for
Building on a managed Postgres with batteries attached.
Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Names:
- Google's mobile and web backend: realtime data, auth, hosting and functions with client SDKs.
Same shelf
The rest of data, apis and backends, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Open-source retrieval infrastructure for question answering, with the pipeline exposed rather than hidden behind an endpoint.
- A relational database wearing a spreadsheet, with automations and an API on top.
- Hosted search built for typing latency, with ranking and synonyms as configuration rather than as code.
- An open-source visual database with automation, positioned against the closed spreadsheet-database products.
- An open-source backend server bundling auth, databases, storage and functions behind one API.
- Schema migration and change review for databases, with the same approval flow across twenty engines.
- Open-source memory for agents, combining graph, vector and relational retrieval so recall survives the session.
- A distributed SQL database for time series and real-time analytics at volumes a single node cannot hold.
