Kilo Code

Supabase raises $500M in Series F at a $10B valuation

The funds will boost open-source / Postgres tools, grow the platform, and liquidity for the employees.

Two months ago, @Supabase announced 8,000,000 developers building with the platform. [1] They're now nearly 10 million, with databases launches growing by 600% over the past year.

What's a tool you discovered through Product Hunt that you now use every day?

I'll start.

Supabase. Found it here three years ago. Thought it was just another backend. Now I can't imagine building without it.

Here's what it does for us at Rankfender:

Auth that doesn't make you crazy. We have users across 120+ countries. Supabase handles sign-ups, logins, password resets, magic links, OAuth with Google and GitHub. It just works. We didn't have to build any of it.

One backend to rule them all

Thanks to supabase I was able to get my project up and running in record time. I use oauth, edge functions, storage, database ofcourse, queues:pgmq and pgvector.

Please check out the project at https://github.com/vpuna/vpuna-a...

It's a semantic search platform for structured and unstructured data , with MCP support and more

The problem with multi-model databases: Treating everything as a Document.

Ten years ago, the "database-per-microservice" / polyglot persistence model was the right way to build. But today, the bottleneck isn't the database engine > it's the glue.
What is the "ETL Tax"?

The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) Tax is the hidden, compounding cost of moving data between specialized databases in a microservice/polyglot architecture. When your data is fractured across Postgres, Redis, Pinecone, and Neo4j, you don't just pay for the databases you pay a massive "tax" to keep them synchronized.

It impacts engineering teams in three fatal ways:

Engineering Time: Developers stop building product features and instead become "plumbers," writing brittle sync scripts, Debezium connectors, and Kafka pipelines.
Data Consistency & Staleness: Dealing with dual-write bugs, race conditions, and out-of-sync data (e.g., a user deletes their account in Postgres, but their embeddings still live in Pinecone).
Network Latency: You cannot do complex, real-time AI queries (like traversing a Graph and doing a Vector search) if the engines have to communicate over a network boundary.
