Episode 50 unpacks Supabase, the open-source Firebase alternative that has grown to over 2 million registered projects. Lucas and Luna break down how the startup built a Postgres-first backend-as-a-service, why its bet on relational databases resonates with developers, and the business model behind its freemium tier. They discuss the technical architecture (realtime subscriptions, storage buckets, edge functions), the competitive landscape vs Google Firebase, and the challenges of monetizing open-source infrastructure. Plus, a quick look at Supabase's $1.6 billion valuation and what it means for the next generation of backend tooling. If you've ever wondered how a startup can undercut a cloud giant with a better developer experience and open-source licensing, this episode explains the playbook. #Supabase #Firebase #OpenSource #BackendAsAService #Postgres #DeveloperTools #StartupStrategy #Business #Technology #Database #Realtime #EdgeFunctions #Freemium #CloudCompetition #FounderStories #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechStartups Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
