About Supabase

Supabase is a Postgres-based development platform that combines a full relational database with backend services for building applications. Each project gets a Postgres database, and developers can add authentication with Row Level Security, instant REST APIs, edge functions, file storage, realtime data synchronization, and vector embeddings for machine learning models. The dashboard bundles table editing, SQL editing, and RLS policy management so much of the application backend can be handled without leaving the interface. The homepage states projects can be started for free, though current plan details and pricing are not specified in the source material. The platform is web-based, and the source does not state whether the core software is open source.
