🆚 PostgreSQL vs. Supabase

PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a powerful open-source object-relational database system that extends SQL with features for storing structured, semi-structured and geometric data.

It supports ACID transactions, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), advanced indexing types (GiST, GIN, BRIN), native JSON/JSONB with indexing, extensibility through custom types and functions, full-text search, foreign data wrappers, and geospatial queries via PostGIS.

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.
