Supabase

Supabase is a backend platform for developers, built on the Postgres database. Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson founded the company in 2020, and it went through the Y Combinator program. The team works remotely across many countries.

Each Supabase project comes with a full Postgres database. On top of it the platform adds user sign in, file storage, real time updates, edge functions and auto generated APIs. Developers manage it through a web dashboard or command line tools. Because the code is open source, teams can also run Supabase on their own servers.

It is popular with indie developers, startups and teams building quickly, and it is often used as the backend for apps made with AI coding tools. Many larger companies also run production workloads on it. Supabase offers a free tier and paid plans based on usage. Paul Copplestone is chief executive. The company has raised several funding rounds and remains privately held.
