Supabase
In plain terms
An open-source Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL.
Going deeper
Supabase provides a hosted Postgres database with auth, realtime, storage, and auto-generated APIs, open-source and SQL-based. It pairs Firebase ease with relational power.
Under the hood
Real SQL/Postgres underneath avoids NoSQL limits; row-level security and instant APIs accelerate development.
Examples
Web/mobile backends, auth, realtime apps, Postgres-based projects.
Think of it like...
Like Firebase's convenience sitting atop a proper SQL database you actually own.
