🆚 Heroku vs. Supabase

Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and scale web applications without managing underlying infrastructure.

It provides isolated containers called Dynos, which are based on LXC (older Cedar generation) and Kubernetes (new Fir generation), and managed data services including Postgres, Key-Value Store, and Apache Kafka.

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform based on PostgreSQL.

It provides a hosted Postgres database with RESTful and GraphQL APIs, built-in authentication, secure file storage, support for edge functions written in TypeScript with global deployment, role-based access control, and row-level security.
