Supabase provides an open-source backend as a service (BaaS) platform that helps developers and businesses create scalable applications more easily. It offers real-time databases, authentication, and storage solutions, all designed to integrate smoothly into existing workflows.

This approach allows it to cater to various user needs. What sets Supabase apart from its competitors is its open-source nature, which allows users to customize the platform and benefit from community-driven enhancements. The company aims to provide a reliable and efficient solution for developers, ensuring high uptime for applications that are critical to their users.
