what is supabase good for and what are the use cases for supabase?

I would say any use case that fits in with Firebase could mostly be done with Supabase (barring cloud functions, at least for the moment). The only significant limit is the lack of RLS/Auth on sockets, which limits what you can safely do on the front-end. Hopefully they'll be able to get that fixed eventually. Examples: - Social media platform - Slack clone - Datastore for an API My current use case is for providing public transport data, accessible to developers with an API key which they can generate. Depending on their subscription plan (handled by Stripe) dictates what data they can look up as well as how requests they can make.

I think the better question here is: what supabase isn't good for or capable of? its pretty much a really excellent alternative to firebase, the project still young, requires abit of knowledge (sql) and then you will fall in love and you dont want to use firebase or any other alternatives.

I seeee

I guess the best way to know for sure would be to try, but the next best option might be to pitch your idea to the community and see if they can spot any noticeable issues that might make it unsuitable 🙂
