unpopular opinion: Supabase is very overhyped
Everyone acts like supabase is the best thing for backend and i genuinely don't get it. every person, every AI, every tutorial just defaults to it.
and the security situation is actually kind of scary when you look at it. supabase auto-generates a REST API for every single table you create. if you forget to enable RLS on even one table, that table is completely open to the public. Security researchers literally found thousands of misconfigured supabase projects and were dumping entire databases with a simple curl command. there's even a real CVE from this year that exposed 170+ apps and 13,000 users because of this exact issue and there is actually more issues than this.
Firebase on the other hand basically forces you to think about security before you do anything. you can't just ship and figure it out later — it makes you write security rules upfront, it pushes you to set up App Check, it nudges you toward doing things the right way from the start. and it's google infrastructure, been battle tested for years on massive apps. for a beginner that's actually huge because the platform is kind of guiding you away from doing something stupid without you even realizing it. supabase is just not beginner friendly tool. I actually think that Firebase is way better
