Appreciate this well-thought out response. As someone who has built several proof-of-concepts on Supabase (but never going far enough to test its limits), articles by Val Town here and responses like yours all work towards my analysis of the platform for future projects.
It's funny that threads like these bring up comments like "Well I use XYZ and it solves all of my problems." As if a one-time mention of a new PaaS is enough to bank on it for future projects. Although I can't lie - I do bookmark every PaaS that I see mentioned on HN.
Regardless, I'd much rather put my faith in a platform like SB that has been battle-tested in public, even if it doesn't work out perfectly every time.
Always glad to see you and the team showing up for the discussions and improving SB.
Not paradoxical at all. They're clearly interested in competing fairly instead of locking you in. That's a big advantage. They're also critically evaluating their approach. Exactly what I as a customer would want!
