Integrated Supabase

In the first version of foxyapps.co the database was just a simple JSON bundled together with the app. Now, I've integrated Supabase as my primary database.

Previously, I've been working with Firebase so I was quite excited to try out this alternative, even though it's still in beta.

I'm not very skilled in Postgres and for basic stuff, it was pretty easy to integrate. But for more complicated things like table policies and stored procedures, there is still a lot of documentation missing on how to do things in UI or via SQL query. Luckily, I figured out most of the things with the help of their Github discussions.

What's your experience with Supabase?

    Seems nice, but for such an integral part of the application I would stick to choosing boring, predictable technology.

      The database itself looks pretty stable, it's just the documentation that's not there yet.
      I'm willing to take the risk since it has a very generous free tier and doesn't lock you in the platform.
