Why We Switched to Supabase from Firebase

Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL. After hitting scaling limits with Firestore, we decided to make the switch.

What We Gained

Migration

// Firebase
const doc = await getDoc(doc(db, 'users', uid))

// Supabase
const { data } = await supabase
  .from('users')
  .select('*')
  .eq('id', uid)
  .single()

The migration took two weeks and we have not looked back since.
