Supabase for React Native

Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL, providing React Native developers with a real-time database, authentication, file storage, and auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs — all self-hostable and backed by the reliability of the world's most advanced open-source relational database.

Unlike Firebase's proprietary NoSQL model, Supabase gives you a proper SQL database with full relational queries, row-level security, and database functions — while still providing the developer experience and real-time capabilities that make Firebase popular for mobile apps.

How Supabase will help you grow and be more successful?

1. Ship a full-stack React Native app with a single backend. Supabase Auth, Postgres database, and Storage bucket give you everything a mobile app needs — user accounts, relational data, and file uploads — with auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, so your team focuses on the product, not the infrastructure.
2. Own your data with a real SQL database. Unlike Firebase's NoSQL model, Supabase gives you PostgreSQL — full SQL queries, foreign keys, and row-level security policies — so you model complex data correctly from day one instead of working around NoSQL limitations as your app scales.
3. Add real-time features without a WebSocket server. Supabase Realtime streams database changes to your React Native app as they happen — build live feeds, collaborative editing, and notification triggers by subscribing to table changes, with zero additional infrastructure to manage.
