Database Review

Supabase Review: Open-source Firebase alternative with PostgreSQL, auth, storage, and realtime.

Supabase gives you a real Postgres database with auth, storage, and realtime subscriptions out of the box. It is what Firebase should have been. The free tier is generous enough for side projects, and the local dev experience with the CLI is excellent.
