node-pg-migrate VS supabase

Why PG? For the clarity of the article to a large circle of developers, the entire explanation will be built by PostgreSQL and PG package. And in a real project, the database schema will change over time, and in order to be able to perform migrations, we will use Node PG migrate.

b) How you will manage schema migrations: every time you change tables, columns, foreign keys, every time you create or modify stored procedures, and so on, you need to do this through a migration. Here I'm at loss to recommend anything specific, but if you went with Prisma, I would read their docs and use whatever they are recommending you (if they actually recommend something). If you want something more neutral but still in the node ecosystem, node-pg-migrate might be the winner here? I'm not sure.

You’ll probably want something like this too: https://github.com/salsita/node-pg-migrate

You can use any normal DB migration tool. For k8s, I put the app's readiness probe to false, run the migrations and then toggle the probe back to true.

Here are some migration libraries:

Node - https://github.com/salsita/node-pg-migrate

1. Create a new Supabase project: Visit Supabase and create a new project.

Supabase positions itself as the "open source Firebase alternative." It was founded in 2020 and is a developer-friendly serverless database platform that supports over 20 frameworks, including popular tools like Next.js, React, Nuxt, Svelte, Flutter, and Vue.

You can find the full application code as a Python Poetry project on GitHub.

If you use PostgreSQL and are proficient with using its row-level security feature, you can choose from several tools/services built above RLS, including Supabase, PostgREST, and PostGraphile. They all provide a way to expose database CRUD as a web API, assuming you've configured the RLS rules to properly secure the access.

Here the thing that accelerated my development the most: Supabase. Thanks to its Database, Authentication, and Edge Functions, we were able to rapidly develop the app. Their JS library made development super seamless, and their local development stack made testing a breeze.

On certain databases, yes

We only scanned for firestore, which is a NoSQL database, conversion tools may still be possible, a good firebase alternative would be https://supabase.com, but please set up RLS, its IMO much easier then Firebase.

I am working on a Supabase project that is going to have a data model that supports content (called nuggets) that can belong to either users individually or to teams.
