Supabase: Honest review after building 3 startups

[prometheas]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen and decided to subscribe. I'm going through my own startup right now (we made an early call to use Convex, but now wishing we'd gone with Supabase because we're going nuts trying to reinvent referential constraints and sorely missing joins 😬). Anyway, deeply appreciated that bit at the end 🙏 really gave voice to the reality I'm living rn. Good fortunes on all of your ventures

Your content is very genuine. Subscribed.

Great video! I love Supabase, been using it for +5 projects already and the developer experience is great

I totally agree with the "problem" of edge functions limits. They're not intended to execute heavy workloads, but rather fast, lightweight tasks. For anything heavy (e.g. AI inference or large file processing), offloading to a dedicated service or queue-based system is definitely the way to go

[ManasMadrecha]

Supabase becomes expensive while scaling. Neon DB Postgres with Cloudflare Workers are the most efficient solutions, especially when combined with Durable Objects, Workers AI. For medium scale projects, the D1 sqlite database is the cheapest with 25 billion rows read per month at just $5.

I wish there was a customer service person that I could reach out to any time for occasional help.

I think with all the AI around us, someone can easily make a start up like this.

First of all, great video, it was exactly what I needed to know about Supabase's limitations. Just one question, would it be better to leave Supabase just for user registration and authentication and the rest of my logic in a separate project?

Hey for the RAG chain, do you use LangChain or do you write your own?

[nick]

Nice one. I like your attitude, subbed.
Did u have experience with php at all, and/or MySQL?

[vasiliigulevich]

Before we start. How many tokens have your projects leaked?

[SlowedOutOfExistence]

Hello, great video. Are you hiring people for second brain ? I'm very good at front-end and backend, also very good at RAG, agents etc

[IvanKleshnin]

If the main problem were edge function limits, why haven't you try to host Supabase yourself?!

[rajeshg]

I want to do a specialized LLM focused for the HVAC industry. Can this be done?

[mrocks]

using deno as if it were node will not get you very far. use deno the way it's supposed to be used with compatible packages and whatever and deno actually becomes a very good competitor to node

[lostinthenarrativve]

Hey man, what resources do you recommend for learning web development ? No coding experience.

[ITudoko-ciku]

if you build you're own backend from scratch, you might as well code in c++

[orangecoating]

what do you think is a better alternative than the supabase edge functions if you want to use python to do some data processing and refresh daily data?

[Abrakadabrato]

Supabase clearly not for backend heavy use case..these multi tenants services will always run into limits if backend compute is heavy..know that you are offloading lot of data to backend to process and with few 100 customers also you will need a lot of compute that means you will need a heavy container based service like gcp cloud run or other similar ones where temporary server configuration is high enough for your worlload

[romeoshah]

I have uploaded images to the storage bucket of supabase and made the bucket public extracted the public url but don't know why the url is not displaying image in the frontend of app but it display in supabase any solution to make it work keeping in mind that I have no coding background.or someone should make supabase tutorial for no code audience too

[bigutubefan]

....after you built three failed startups.

[matthieu]

Now firebase support postresql i don't see any reason to continu with supabase now
