Supabase is open source. Wherever possible, we use and support existing tools rather than developing from scratch.
|
|
We choose open source tools which are scalable and we make them simple to use.

|
Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. While we are building many of the features that Firebase offers, we are not going about it the same way.
|
|
|
|
Our technological choices are quite different from Firebase. Everything we use is open source. Wherever possible, we use and support existing tools rather than developing from scratch.
|
|
|
|
Most notably, we use Postgres rather than a NoSQL store. This choice was deliberate. We believe that no other database offers the scalability and functionality required to compete with Firebase.
