The NoSQL Honeymoon is Over
For years, Firebase (and its NoSQL database Firestore) was the default choice for quick backend prototyping. However, as applications scale and the data becomes relational (e.g., a User has many Posts, Posts have many Comments), NoSQL quickly turns into a nightmare of nested data duplications.
The Power of PostgreSQL & Supabase
Supabase is built strictly on top of standard PostgreSQL. This means you get absolute relational integrity, complex joins, and incredibly powerful querying out of the box. You no longer have to compromise on database architecture just to get real-time subscriptions or simple APIs.
Why DevX Relies on It
Every complex web application we deploy for our Nepalese and international clients uses Supabase. Their Row Level Security (RLS) policies mean our APIs are securely locked down at the database level. Plus, being open-source means no vendor lock-in. It's the ultimate developer experience.
