Featured Project

Check out our spotlight project, ReviveRatings, a multi-tenant reputation management platform that has helped 400 businesses collect thousands of reviews from their customers. This platform utilizes many great features from Supabase like PostgreSQL Row-level Security & Triggers.

Services

Whether consulting or implementation, we offer a comprehensive range of custom software services.

Migrating from Firebase to Supabase

We offer expert consulting and hands-on implementation services for migrating from Firebase to Supabase. While the two platforms share many features, there are key differences to keep in mind:

• Supabase operates on a Postgres (SQL) Database, while Firebase relies on NoSQL.
• As an open-source platform, Supabase allows for local operation, offering a significant edge over Firebase’s emulators.
• In terms of database security, Supabase incorporates Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS), in contrast with Firebase's Firebase Rules.

Migrating between these two platforms isn’t always clear-cut! Having helped many make the switch, we're equipped to help you enjoy the full suite of Supabase benefits while preserving your existing architecture.

Multitenancy App Design

We also specialize in constructing applications designed for multitenancy, where individual customers can have their own, separate instances. Postgres's Row-Level Security (RLS) feature greatly enhances the efficiency and security of this approach, making Supabase a great platform for these types of applications.
