It's just Postgres
Every project is a full Postgres database. You get SQL, relations, extensions and standard backups, and your data can move anywhere Postgres runs.
Supabase development
We build apps, client portals and products on Supabase, with the Postgres database, sign-in and data access rules designed properly from the first table. Senior engineering, a secure back end and a codebase you own.
100+ startups, enterprises and agencies trusted us with their projects.
How we work
- 01
Data model and access
We start with your data, not the screens: who owns what, who can see what, and which workflows the product has to support. It all gets written down as a data model and an access model before we build.
- 02
Schema and policies
We turn that into Postgres tables, relations and row level security policies, versioned as migrations in your repository and tested against every role, so the rules live in the database.
- 03
App build
We build the frontend, usually in Next.js, and wire in auth, storage, realtime and Edge Functions where they earn their place. You see working software on a preview link every week.
- 04
Migration and data import
Moving from Firebase, spreadsheets or an older backend? We map the data, write repeatable import scripts and rehearse the move on a branch before production is touched.
- 05
Launch
We apply the migrations to production, set up backups, keys and environments, run through the launch checklist and go live.
- 06
Monitoring and handover
After launch we watch queries, logs and usage, and tune indexes where they need it. You get the documentation, the access and the codebase. Stay with us for support or run it yourself.
Why Supabase
A real database, with the app parts built in
Supabase gives every project a full Postgres database, with auth, storage, realtime and functions around it. Here is what that means for your product.
(02)
Security at the data layer
Sign-in is built in, and access rules in the database (row level security) decide what each user can read or change. Every app and integration follows them.
(03)
APIs, files and functions included
Your data is ready for your app as soon as the tables exist, files are stored and served fast, and custom logic runs in small server functions.
(04)
Live by default
Clients can listen to database changes, share who's online and broadcast messages, so dashboards, chats and shared boards update without a refresh.
(05)
Ready for AI features
AI search data (with pgvector) sits next to your data, so smart search, recommendations and assistants run in the same database, under the same permissions.
(06)
Safe changes with branching
Every proposed change can get its own preview copy of the database. We test changes there and apply them to the live database when they're ready.
Frameworks and hosting

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Supabase project cost, and how long does it take?
It depends on scope. A focused MVP or internal tool usually takes a few weeks, a larger product a few months. We scope it after a discovery call and give you a fixed price for the first phase.
Should we choose Supabase or Firebase?
Both give you auth, storage and realtime. Supabase is built on Postgres, so your data is relational, queried with SQL and portable to any Postgres host, while Firebase uses a document database. For products with related data, reporting or detailed permissions, we usually recommend Supabase.
Supabase Cloud or self-hosted?
Most teams are best served by Supabase Cloud, which handles backups, upgrades and infrastructure. Supabase is open source, so self-hosting is an option when you have strict data residency or infrastructure rules, but then your team runs and patches it. We can set up either.
Who owns the data and the code?
You do. The project lives in your Supabase organization, the schema and migrations live in your repository, and the database is standard Postgres you can export and move whenever you want.
Is it secure enough for our data?
Security comes from how the app is built. We turn on row level security for every table, write and test policies for each role, keep secret keys on the server and review access before launch. If you have compliance requirements, we check what Supabase's current plans cover together with you rather than assume.
Will it scale as we grow?
Supabase runs on Postgres, which handles large production workloads. We design indexes and queries around how your product is really used, and the database can move to more compute as usage grows. If one part needs something different, like heavy background jobs, we move that part, not the whole stack.
What does Supabase itself cost?
Supabase has a free tier and paid plans with usage-based pricing. Plans change, so check supabase.com/pricing for the current ones. We'll tell you which plan your project needs during scoping.
Can you take over an existing Supabase project?
Yes. We start with a review of the schema, policies and performance, fix what's risky first, then keep building with your team.
What support do you offer after launch?
We stick around. You get a 30-day warranty: if you find bugs, we fix them. After that, you can keep us on a monthly maintenance plan or book hours when you need them.
