  2. Run supabase init then supabase start
  3. Connect your app using the generated keys.

You can also self-host the full stack with Docker.

💡 How to make a business with it

Business ideas

  • Offer managed Supabase hosting for local businesses.
  • Build vertical SaaS (e.g. clinic management) on top of it and sell subscriptions.
  • Sell integration & migration services to teams leaving Firebase.
