Supabase Development
Supabase is the open-source Firebase alternative, built on Postgres. We design and ship production Supabase backends: authentication, row-level security, realtime, and multitenant SaaS, plus clean migrations off Firebase when an app outgrows it. Senior engineers, dedicated to your product or embedded in your team.

Why teams build on Supabase
Postgres, not a black box
Underneath Supabase is real Postgres: SQL, joins, constraints, and views, plus every Postgres tool you already know. You are not locked into one vendor's query dialect.
Auth and security built in
Sign-in and row-level security ship with it, so access control lives in the database instead of scattered across route handlers you can forget to guard.
Open source, no lock-in
Supabase is open source and self-hostable on standard Postgres, so moving off it later is a migration, not a ground-up rebuild.
Capabilities
What we build on Supabase
Supabase is more than a database. We ship the whole backend on it, and we know where it fits and where it does not.
SaaS on Supabase
The full SaaS backend: Supabase Auth, Postgres, multitenant organizations and teams, and Stripe subscription or seat-based billing, wired together the way products actually ship, not a demo.
Multitenant with row-level security
Tenant isolation enforced in the database with Postgres RLS, so one tenant cannot read another tenant's rows even when a query is wrong. Authorization you cannot forget to check in a route handler.
Auth, storage, realtime, edge
Email, OAuth and SSO sign-in, file storage with access policies, realtime subscriptions, and edge functions for server-side logic. First-party pieces, not a stack glued together by hand.
Firebase to Supabase migration
A phased move that keeps the app online: schema and data ported to Postgres, Firebase security rules re-expressed as RLS, and auth migrated without forcing every user to reset a password.
Mobile on Supabase
React Native, Expo, and Flutter apps on Supabase auth and realtime, with an engineered offline layer when the app has to work without a connection, since Supabase ships none by default.
The stack
The Supabase stack we work in
From the Postgres schema up to the client, and the billing on top.
Security
RLS done right, not RLS forgotten
The most common Supabase data leak is a table shipped with row-level security switched off: because the anon key is public, anyone can then read the whole table through the auto-generated API. We treat RLS as the security boundary, and we make it fast.
Every table holding user or tenant data ships with row-level security enabled and policies written, never left open behind a public API key.
RLS is the boundary; the query still filters explicitly. That pairing is also what keeps policies fast instead of re-checking every row.
Authorization checks a database table or server-controlled metadata, never a user-writable token field that a client can quietly change.
The service-role key that bypasses RLS never reaches the browser, and storage buckets get explicit policies rather than public-by-default access.
Engagement models
Work with us how you need
Pick the model that fits your stage. You can change it as your roadmap changes.
Dedicated developer
One senior engineer, full-time on your Supabase product and managed by you. Best for an ongoing roadmap.
Dedicated team
A cross-functional pod of engineers, design, and QA, ready to ship a Supabase-backed product end to end without growing headcount.
Project-based
A scoped build or a Firebase-to-Supabase migration, delivered end to end against a fixed plan, price, and timeline.
Compare
Supabase vs Firebase
Both give you auth, a database, storage, and realtime without running your own server. They differ where it matters for a product you intend to grow.

Questions
Supabase, answered
Is Supabase better than Firebase?
It depends on the product. Supabase is a relational Postgres database with full SQL, row-level security, and no vendor lock-in, which suits SaaS and apps you will grow. Firebase is a mature document (NoSQL) platform that is excellent for fast prototypes and simple data. We help you pick, and we migrate between them when a product outgrows its first choice.
How does Supabase keep data secure?
Through Postgres row-level security. RLS is opt-in, so the real risk is a table left with it switched off, which exposes the whole table through the public API key. We enable RLS on every table that holds user or tenant data, write explicit policies, keep the service-role key off the client, and never trust user-writable token fields for authorization.
Can you build a multitenant SaaS on Supabase?
Yes. We model tenants with an organization and membership schema and enforce isolation with RLS at the database, so one tenant cannot read another tenant's rows even if a query is wrong. Auth, per-seat or subscription billing with Stripe, and role-based access sit on top of that.
Can you migrate our app from Firebase to Supabase?
Yes, in phases that keep the app online. We port schema and data from Firestore to Postgres, re-express Firebase security rules as RLS policies, and migrate auth without forcing every user to reset a password. You get a plan before anything moves.
Does Supabase work for mobile apps?
Yes, for React Native, Expo, and Flutter, using Supabase auth and realtime. Supabase ships no built-in offline mode, so when an app has to work without a connection we add an engineered offline layer with local storage and a sync engine rather than pretending it is built in.
Is Supabase production-ready and does it scale?
Yes, with engineering. It is Postgres, so it scales the way Postgres does: indexing, query design, and connection pooling matter, and realtime has real limits you plan around. We build with those limits in mind instead of discovering them in production.
