Comment on PostgreSQL comes to Firebase

Comments

It's unclear if this has any of Firebase's signature real-time capabilities.

Certainly, Supabase is living proof that there's major demand for the ergonomics of Firebase with the established SQL ecosystem; however, there still seems to be a gap of a real-time, syncing, relational data store.

That's what we are still hard at work creating at Triplit[1] while others are making strides to add this functionality to Postgres directly[2].

Perfect reply from Supabase on Firebase's announcement: https://twitter.com/supabase/status/1790503399521230992

"does that make firebase a supabase alternative now??"
