Supabase is a suite of open source tools that wrap around a PostgreSQL database, giving you the primitives you need to basically build any application. No wonder their tagline is "Build in a weekend, scale to millions".
In this episode, Jon takes Simon through what is so awesome about Supabase, and why he should use it! We touch on database hosting, authentication, authorization, file storage, realtime, webhooks and edge functions.
