Supabase

What it does

Supabase gives you a PostgreSQL database, user authentication, file storage, and real-time subscriptions — all with a nice dashboard and JavaScript/Python libraries. It's the fastest way to add a backend to your app without building one from scratch.

When to use it

Use this when you need user accounts, a database, or file storage in your app without building a full backend.

Real example

You're building a task manager app where users sign in with Google and save their to-dos to a personal database. Prompt: 'Use Supabase for Google OAuth login. On sign-in, save the user to the users table. Fetch todos from the todos table filtered by user_id. Insert new todos and delete them with the Supabase JS client.'

Good to know

Has a generous free tier. The dashboard is excellent — non-developers can manage data without writing SQL.
