Dear supabase. Please don’t get bought out by anyone and ruined. I’ve built too many websites with a supabase backend now to go back.

This is my biggest reservation towards Supabase. Google bought Firebase in 2014. I've seen Vercel run Nextjs in to the ground and fuck up their pricing for some short-term gains. And Figma almost got bought by Adobe. I have a hard time trusting products with heavy VC backing.

I think Vercel and Next.js are built by the same group of people, the same people who made Now.sh, started the company (Zeit), then changed product name to Now.sh, then changed company and product name to Vercel.

This is great news. Now I can utilize any CDN provider that supports S3. Like bunny.net [1] which has image optimization, just like Supabase does but with better pricing and features. I have been developing with Supabase past two months. I would say there are still some rough corners in general and some basic features missing. Example Supabase storage has no direct support for metadata [2][3]. Overall I like the laun…

> I can utilize any CDN provider that supports S3. Like bunny.net Bunny is a great product. I'm glad this release makes that possible for you and I imagine this was one of the reasons the rest of the community wanted it too > But more attention to basic features and little details This is what we spend most of our time doing, but you won't hear about it because they aren't HN-worthy. > no direct support for metadata…

This is indeed at the very top of the list :)

we don't have any plans to get bought. we only have plans to keep pushing open standards/tools - hopefully we have enough of a track record here that it doesn't feel like lip service

I can believe there are no plans, right now. But having raised over $100mm, the VCs will want to liquidate their holdings eventually. They have to answer to their LPs after all, and be able to raise their next funds.

The primary options I can think of that are not full acquisition are: - company buys back stock - VC sells on secondary market - IPO

The much more common and more likely option for these VCs to make the multiple or home run on their return is going to be to 10x+ their money by having a first or second tier cloud provider buy you.

I think there's a 10% chance that a deal with Google is done in the future, so their portfolio has Firebase for NoSQL and Firebase for SQL.

Hi, a question, but first some background. I've been looking at solutions to store columnar data with versioning, essentially Parquet. But, I'd also like to store PDFs, CSVs, images, and such for our ML workflows. I wonder if now, that Supabase is getting better for data science DuckDB crowd, could Supabase be that one solution for all this?

I wish supabase had more default integrations with CDNs, transactional email services and domain registrars. I'd happily pay a 50% markup for the sake of having everything in one place.

are there any specific integrations that you want? (eg: which companies?)

we have a built-in CDN[0] and we have some existing integrations for transactional emails [1]
