Overview
Supabase provides a development platform built around PostgreSQL. Alongside the database, it offers services for authentication, storage, APIs, and other application needs, allowing developers to assemble a backend around a relational data model.
How it is used
A project uses PostgreSQL tables and policies while connecting client applications to the available services. Authentication identifies users, and row-level rules can control their access to stored data.
A useful distinction
An automatically available API still needs correct access policies. Review database permissions and client-visible behavior together so that convenience does not expose unintended records.
