Verified buyer reviews

  1. Must have as a developer (5/5)

    Dinuka Jayasuriya, Founder, NinjaPipe, Company size: 1-10 employees · Aug 7, 2026

    Verified review. I've been using Supabase as the backend for my SaaS applications, and it has been a game changer for moving fast as a small team. Having PostgreSQL, authentication, storage, APIs, real-time features, and a clean dashboard all in one place saves a huge amount of development time. What I like most about Supabase is that it gives you the power of a traditional backend without needing to build everything from scratch. The database experience is excellent, the SQL editor is easy to use, and features like Row Level Security give you the flexibility to build secure, scalable applications. For a solo founder or small team, Supabase is especially valuable because it removes a lot of the backend complexity. Instead of spending weeks setting up infrastructure, you can focus on building your product and delivering value to customers.
