ts-node VS supabase

I thought this was going to be a project like ts-node [1]

The command specified in the app option uses ts-node by default, which is an execution engine for Node.js that allows you to run TypeScript code directly. The --prefer-ts-exts flag prevents ts-node from prioritizing precompiled .js files and will always import the TypeScript source code instead, if it is available. This is useful if you are also using tsc (the TypeScript compiler) alongside the app option. The bin/cdk.ts file is the entry point for our CDK app, which defines the main function that will be executed when the app is run.

If you want to write apps that run on Node.js I would suggest using Google’s TypeScript style guide. You can start using it by simply running npx gts init. I’d suggest that you start with this and run your apps using ts-node/ts-node-dev because it does not require an extra build step.

ts-node (“TypeScript execution and REPL for Node.js”)

The process of compiling TypeScript source files into JavaScript code before executing them with Node.js can get a little tedious after a while, especially during development. You can eliminate the intermediate steps before running the program through the ts-node CLI to execute .ts files directly. Go ahead and install the ts-node package using the command below:

I tried suggested solution by https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/1007 but this causes problem with NestJS decorators:

Some people prefer to use https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node with https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node-dev.

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.

I ended up coming up with a solution using Supabase and Netlify Build Plugins that I'm pretty happy with!

There are roughly 10 million downloads of my NuGet packages in total, all of whom are open source. This is 20 times more downloads than for instance SupaBase. SupaBase is evaluated at 1 billion dollars and have been given VC funding of more than 100 million dollars.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.
