Inian Parameshwaran: 作为Superbase的产品和工程负责人，我亲身经历了Superbase从一个Alpha阶段的项目成长为一个功能丰富的开源Firebase替代方案的过程。Superbase的核心是Postgres关系数据库，这与Firebase的文档存储形成了鲜明对比。自2020年以来，我们不断扩展产品线，包括实时引擎、存储、身份验证、边缘函数以及最近的基于PG vector的向量数据库。我们的目标是为开发者提供简单易用的工具，让他们能够快速构建应用并扩展到数百万用户。我加入Superbase时，主要负责解决基础设施问题，并帮助团队发布Beta版本。之后，我参与了Superbase Storage和Functions的初始版本的发布。现在，我的主要职责是协调产品团队，确保他们能够根据用户反馈构建正确的产品。在加入Superbase之前，我曾在DevTools领域创办过TechSecure，并在新加坡大学的安全实验室参与过创业项目。我对DevTools、安全和性能领域充满热情。

Supabase is an open source backend-as-a-service platform and competes directly with Google’s Firebase. A key distinction between them is that Firebase is a document store, while Supabase uses Postgres, which is a SQL-based database management system.

Software Engineering Daily last covered Supabase in 2020 when its Founder Paul Copplestone came on the show, and a lot has changed since then. The platform has continued to grow its feature set and, importantly, this growth has come with an expanded number of security considerations.
