When Supabase is Too Complex: A Lightweight Alternative
Supabase provides an entire Firebase-like ecosystem backed by Postgres. But configuring Row Level Security (RLS) is daunting for weekend projects. When your application structure implies 'one document per user', a secure key-value store simplifies authentication and data isolation dramatically.
Why This Matters Now
When discussing supabase in 2026, the trend strongly points towards simplified architecture. Keeping overhead low allows you to iterate faster without managing complex databases.
