vitess VS supabase

1 . Vitess (Sharding layer for MySQL)

Vitess MySQL sharding at hyperscale. Used by YouTube, Slack, and more. Basically MySQL on steroids for distributed environments.

Apart from being backed by Postgres instead of MySQL, is this different from Vitess (and its commercial vendor PlanetScale)?

Never tried myself, but there is Vitess as well that should do what you ask - not sure about the limitations. https://vitess.io/

With Vitess likely merging a lot of its binaries into a single unified binary: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7471#issuecomment-...

... it would be a wild future if Vitess replaced the underlying MySQL engine with this as long as the performance is good enough.

Thank you for the compliment!

We recently started adding support for CTEs in Vitess! You can check out https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/pull/14321 if you want to see some technical details of the implementation.

For now, we have added preliminary support by converting them to derived tables internally, but we believe that we need to make CTEs first-class citizens themselves of query planning. Once we make that change, we can look towards supporting recursive CTEs.

This however will take some time, but then, all good things do!

Why would it be a Google project? https://github.com/vitessio/vitess

This is great news. I strolled around https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/12967.

Are there any public discussions of more trade-offs vitess has to make to enable fks?

MySQL + Vitess I noticed Slack gets by using MySQL because they're using Vites. From Slack's post (https://slack.engineering/scaling-datastores-at-slack-with-vitess/) it seems like they choose Vites because it facilitated a smooth transition because it's built on top of MySQL.

✅ Integrated OpenAI voice dictation ✅ Built an AI conversation generator ✅ Added Stripe payment processing ✅ Used Supabase for user data storage ✅ Assembled complete landing pages using components from 21st dev from scratch ✅ Deployed the web app with Netlify

How Bolt Changed My Development Workflow Bolt fundamentally transformed how I build software. Instead of writing long spec docs or setting up boilerplate from scratch, I shifted to writing clear, structured prompts. I would describe the behavior, UI structure, and data logic, and let Bolt generate React components, Supabase queries, and edge function handlers for me.

Supabase is the Postgres Development Platform and we are looking for Product Managers and Technical Program managers. You will be working with very strong Product Engineers across a wide variety of products (Postgres, realtime, storage, Queues, etc). If you enjoy working on developer tools and like to get your hands dirty, check out our open product roles

In Part 1 we dissected how each platform branches a Postgres database under the hood. This post zooms in on pricing. We’ll explore how Xata, Neon, and Supabase pricing strategies stack up when you require:

Multiple platforms have emerged to tackle this, each with a unique approach. Neon popularized the idea of copy-on-write branches in Postgres, letting teams spin up full data copies in seconds. Supabase integrated database branching with git workflows, providing full-stack preview environments for every feature branch. With our new PostgreSQL platform at Xata, we’ve reimagined branching from the ground up to address the limitations we saw in existing solutions.

5. Supabase – For Auth and Database

Supabase is a well-know BaaS (Backend as a Service) based on PostgreSQL and giving built-in features like auth or storage. Nevertheless, even if Supabase is an amazing product on its own, linking your AI-generated frontend to a Supabase backend can be tricky for many reasons:
