postgrest-csharp VS supabase

Supabase is a popular, open-source, Firebase alternative that offers Postgres databases, authentication, Edge functions, real-time messaging and file storage. The Supabase community has released a C#/.NET library that developers can use to integrate their .NET apps with the Supabase platform. For managing Postgres databases, the library uses the postgrest-csharp library that allows developers to use strongly typed models and LINQ queries.

It was a great experience using Supabase’s rock-solid PostgreSQL database for this app. The DX around that product is phenomenal: viewing and managing the DB data was a lifesaver when you don’t want to craft your own admin panel from scratch.

I didn't really give much thought as to which backend I would use. I already had 2 projects in Supabase (BOXCUT & MineWork), but also a few projects in Firebase too. I was more concerned at the time at actually building the product.

Supabase will be used for storing article data in the database and the cover image of the article in storage. Chakra UI will be used to provide style to the elements. By using both, we can build the blog with ease.

For AutoRepurpose, I opted for Supabase as the backbone of the backend. It has reliably supported Penelope AI, which garnered over 15k users in 2022 without any issues.
