# Supabase

> Build in a weekend. Scale to millions.

Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative built on Postgres. It provides a complete backend platform for building web and mobile applications, with a suite of integrated tools that work together out of the box.

## Products

- **Database**: Every project is a dedicated Postgres database. Fully portable, with auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, a Table Editor, SQL Editor, and 40+ preinstalled extensions.
- **Auth**: Built-in authentication and user management with 20+ social login providers, email/password, phone/OTP, and magic links. Authorization via Postgres Row Level Security.
- **Storage**: S3-compatible object storage with a global CDN (285+ cities), image transformations, and three bucket types: files, analytics (Apache Iceberg), and vector.
- **Edge Functions**: Globally distributed TypeScript/Deno serverless functions with Node.js compatibility, 2M+ NPM modules, and built-in observability.
- **Realtime**: WebSocket-based real-time sync with three capabilities: database change listeners, presence (online state), and broadcast (arbitrary messages).
- **Vector**: AI toolkit powered by pgvector for storing, indexing, and querying vector embeddings alongside transactional data in Postgres.

## Data APIs

Every Supabase project auto-generates three types of APIs from your database schema:

- **REST**: Instant CRUD API via PostgREST, no code generation needed
- **GraphQL**: Auto-detected relationships and schema via pg_graphql
- **Realtime**: Subscribe to database changes over WebSockets
