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 “beta” 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!
I vividly remember meeting and yourself for the first time and telling y'all that this was a terrible idea with all that SQL 😅 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 👉
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 🚀
This is the first time i'm hearing this story. Very cool.

thanks for the kind words Deshraj!
So nice to hear stories like this!
💡 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.
straight facts 💯
😹 LOL
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.

amen to that
Congrats on the launch, and a huge shoutout to Supabase team! You are one of the biggest enablers in tech industry. Hope you keep it up and continue improving the platform without adding complexity. Live long and prosper Supabase and do not leave us as your predecessors - btw anyone who remembers Parse?

Parse was a big inspiration for us! Amazing tool.
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.
Supabase is the best backend for any kind of app whether it's web apps or mobile apps. Postgres is a very powerful database, and Supabase makes it so easy to get started with Postgres.
love all the flutter, mobile, and AI content you're creating! An absolute treat for the community 💚
Just trying to keep up with the best! 🍻
agree 100%
Supabase is our default choice when it comes PostgreSQL hosting, congrats on the launch! 🚀 Will create tutorial on - using Supabase Postgres with SaaSBold soon :)
Maker
that would be incredible!
Looking forward to that tutorial!
are the memes GA too?

memes have been GA since inception...
Waiting to be elected as CMO (Chief Meme Officer)
Have been waiting for this for a very long time! Supabase is now officially GA! I can finally use it at work! 😏 Postgres is so incredibly powerful and Supabase makes it so much more accessible! 🐘
I know, right. Feels so good to be able to officially use it 🙌
Maker
It's been a long road!
So excited for Supabase to finally go GA – you guys have been killing it for years and the success of this launch is testament to the community you've built up along the way. Congrats team 🚀
Maker
Thanks Steven! We're big fans of your work also!
This has been 3 years in the making. Supabase is the most reliable, secure and scalable platform to host your Postgres database.
Managing storage objects through Postgres is such a brilliant idea! It made things so much easier for mobile app developers like myself!
Starting using Supabase in 2021 and have been running all my side projects on Supabase ever since. I've said it before and will say it many more times. Basing it on Postgres was one of the smartest decisions ever. It's a true superpower

haha can confirm Kevin was a super early adopter!
