By any chance, if you read my blogs, guess you know I'm launching 6 products in 6 semesters. On my last product, I used Supabase as my primary backend.
Though I really enjoyed the developer experience of Supabase but for my next product I decided to get back to Firebase, and here's why 👇
💸 The biggest issue I had with Firebase is their pricing model!! But for NotionCommerce almost all my queries will be done by Notion APIs. So I'm quite certain I won't exceed their free plan even if I reach thousand active users.
🤝 Firebase made it so simple to integrate with other Google services like oAuth, and analytics. They recently also added the Extensions feature to easily integrate with third-party services as well. Which I'm really looking forward to trying out.
😴 Supabase pauses the application after 7 days of inactivity.
🏠 Working with Supabase locally wasn't a very pleasant experience for me! especially when syncing with the live server. But I suppose that's more of a SQL issue than Supabase, which brings me to my next point 👇
🛠️ After going back and forth, I have come to the conclusion that NoSQL is far superior for prototyping an Idea.
Ok, That was enough reasons to make my decision. So I guess it's a goodbye for now Supabase. Hopefully, will see you on some other project 🤞.
