Re: We are moving to General Availability
#2hey hn, supabase ceo here
we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])
we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]
the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.
on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

#4This is not a negative statement against Supabase, but heed my warning:
Do not build out your MVP on supabase. If you need to scale and want a MSP do it after the MVP. Detangling the lock in is not fun.
Everything offered by supabase is easily found elsewhere without the MSP lock in.

What were the troubles you faced?

I've used it for a couple uni/personal projects to get some experience, and firebase for the same. I'm concerned about getting locked in, what other providers do you recommend who can let me migrate more easily?

Supabase is one of the most portable platforms out there.
The whole stack is self-hostable and open source. All of the data are contained in Postgres. You're one pg_dump away from being able to switch to a different Postgres host. Or if you're switching to something else entirely, you can export the data to CSVs and take it anywhere. But we're confident you won't want to :)

If it's postgres with easily available plugins, then where is the lock in?
