"Because we definitely all know that Google doesn't have a reputation of killing of products"... thank you!

[AndreaGiacon]

Completely agree: PLEASE ADD A SQL DATABASE TO THE FIREBASE PLATFORM!

I admire your channel for showing me new tools I would never hear about otherwise.
One subscription on youtube and I am up to date with all the new cool stuff.
Also you are great in video editing, your videos are fast and go straight to the point. Love it.
Thank you.

[UliTroyo]

Ha, when I first heard about Supabase a few days ago, I thought of this channel first. Great video, too! Very fair.

[Mr.Andrew.]

I love the chapters for longer videos. Makes finding where I left off so much easier. Also when reviewing a previously watched video of yours. Thanks!

"Now that's extremely unlikely if you do what you're told". 1:42
Oh boy, I see what you did there... Definitely something to be wary about. lol

You are on top of your gif game, my friend.

Trying out Supabase after I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact that Firebase doesn't provide text search. So far, I'm amazed, it works so well by abstracting the boilerplate code of relational databases (the API simply gives you the JSON), while supporting search and being relational.

Great video as always! I would love to see a video comparing GoTrue (used by Supabase) and other standalone OAuth2 solutions. Securing a REST API is always a headache.

Last time I was this early, Fireship didn't use Firebase yet

Salute bro 👍🏻👍🏻

This is awesome. The ability to self host makes it ideal for learners, or someone testing the waters of entrepreneurship.

[vintagerealityvr]

Yooo the SQL to JS code snippets based on your data structure is absolutey 🔥 innovation

"...if you do what you're told" - I like this remark

[FilledStacks]

this is a valid reason to not edit my new video for the next 9 minutes! I've been talking and reading through some supabase stuff. Excited to watch this!

[crude-dude]

Fireship only has 650k subs?? I thought this man was in the millions already! Easily one of the most premium programming YouTubers out there.

Awesome Video. In depth analysis. Super cool! Thanks Jeff!

It wins by simply being open source. That is the biggest and most important feature. Always prefer open source if it suits your needs.

[isaach.]

Open source for the win! Especially since you can self host. Although this kind of application might be intended so that you don't need to host it yourself, many of the tools it comes with would still speed up development. I like self hosting and the freedom it provides but find dealing with backend databases tedious.

Something you can just spin up in a docker container that is meant to act like Firebase? Yes please!

[MrBrannfjell]

I'm a die-hard self hoster, which has been the major deterrent with firebase for me. I also have my own server in my garage, so the idea that I could run supabase on it, and maybe even earn money running it as a SaaS to people wanting to use it is great, and creates price competition in the market.
