Why use this?

Supabase gives development teams a complete backend built around PostgreSQL. Instead of assembling a database, authentication service, file storage system, realtime layer, and API server separately, teams can start with one integrated platform and self-host it when needed.

It is a strong choice for web apps, mobile apps, AI products, and internal tools where teams want rapid development without giving up a portable Postgres foundation. Supabase is particularly useful for startups and product teams that need to move quickly while retaining SQL and open-source flexibility. [61]
