  • Postgres-first engineers, not dashboard tinkerers

    Supabase is a convenience layer over PostgreSQL, and the developers who get it wrong treat it like a black box. Ours design normalized schemas, write SQL functions and triggers, understand indexes and EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and know that RLS, foreign keys, and constraints are your real security and integrity boundary — not the client SDK.

  • Full-time, in-house — never subcontracted

    Every Supabase developer you hire is a salaried Krapton engineer in our Delhi studio under a signed NDA. We do not farm work out to freelancers or agencies, so you get one accountable team, consistent code quality, and clear ownership from kickoff to delivery.

  • RLS and multi-tenancy done correctly

    Most Supabase security incidents come from missing or over-permissive Row Level Security policies and accidental service-role key exposure. Our engineers design auth.uid()- and JWT-claim-based policies, test them with anonymous and authenticated roles, and treat the service-role key as a server-only secret.

  • Next.js App Router and SSR auth specialists

    We implement Supabase Auth the modern way — @supabase/ssr with cookie-based sessions, middleware token refresh, server components reading the session safely, and OAuth, magic links, and JWT all working across server and client without leaking tokens to the browser.

Why Supabase?

What makes Supabase the right choice for modern engineering teams.

  • Instant REST & GraphQL API

    Auto-generated API from your PostgreSQL schema with zero configuration.

  • Real-time subscriptions

    Listen to database changes over WebSockets for live collaborative features.

  • Authentication

    Email/password, magic links, OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple) with built-in JWT management.

  • Row level security

    PostgreSQL RLS enforced at the database layer for secure multi-tenant apps.

  • Storage

    S3-compatible object storage with RLS policies on buckets and files.

  • Edge Functions

    Deploy Deno-based serverless functions globally close to your users.

What you can build with Supabase

  • Multi-tenant SaaS platforms

    B2B SaaS where every tenant's data is isolated at the database layer with Row Level Security, organization/role models enforced via JWT claims, and per-tenant billing, invites, and audit trails — the kind of architecture where security cannot be an afterthought.

  • Realtime collaborative apps

    Live dashboards, chat, presence indicators, and collaborative editors built on Supabase Realtime using postgres_changes for data sync, plus broadcast and presence channels for cursors, typing indicators, and who's-online — without standing up a separate WebSocket service.

  • AI apps with semantic search and RAG

    Knowledge bases, support assistants, and recommendation features using pgvector for embeddings, similarity search via the vector index, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines — all inside the same Postgres database that holds your application data.

  • SaaS MVPs and product launches

    End-to-end MVPs with auth, database, storage, and APIs wired up in days instead of months, so founders can validate fast and scale on the same stack — no throwaway backend, no premature microservices.

  • Internal tools and admin panels

    Operations dashboards, back-office CRUD apps, and approval workflows backed by the instant auto-generated API, RLS-scoped to staff roles, with storage for documents and edge functions for integrations.

  • Secure file and media backends

    Upload pipelines using S3-compatible Supabase Storage with bucket- and object-level RLS, signed URLs for private files, image transformations, and edge functions for post-upload processing and webhooks.

Postgres-first: RLS multi-tenancy & pgvector for AI

The single biggest reason teams choose Supabase — and the area where the most damage is done by inexperienced developers — is Row Level Security. Because Supabase exposes your tables directly through an auto-generated API protected by the anon and authenticated keys, the database itself must be the security boundary. If RLS is disabled, or a policy is missing on even one table, that table is effectively public to anyone with the anon key. Our engineers enable RLS on every table by default, write explicit policies per operation (select, insert, update, delete), key them on auth.uid() and custom JWT claims for organization and role, and verify isolation by running queries as the anon and authenticated roles — not by assuming the client will behave. The service-role key, which bypasses RLS entirely, is treated as a server-only secret and never shipped to the browser or an edge function reachable by clients.

For multi-tenant B2B SaaS this is the whole game. We model tenants explicitly (organizations, memberships, roles), put the tenant identifier in the JWT, and write policies that scope every read and write to the caller's tenant. Combined with Postgres foreign keys, check constraints, and triggers for audit trails, the result is a security and integrity model you can actually test and prove — rather than a pile of application-layer if-statements that one forgotten code path can defeat.

On the AI side, Supabase's pgvector extension lets you store embeddings in the same Postgres database as your application data, which removes the need for a separate vector store for most products. We enable the vector type, choose sensible embedding dimensions, build IVFFlat or HNSW indexes for the dataset size, and write similarity-search SQL functions that power semantic search, document Q&A, and retrieval-augmented generation. Keeping embeddings next to relational data means a single RLS-protected query can join a user's documents, their metadata, and the nearest vectors — clean, secure, and fast — which is exactly the kind of AI feature we build on top of an existing Supabase backend without forcing a migration to another database.

Supabase in action

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

const supabase = createClient(process.env.SUPABASE_URL, process.env.SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);

// Auth: sign in with Google OAuth
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'google' });

// Realtime subscription
const channel = supabase
  .channel('orders')
  .on('postgres_changes', { event: 'INSERT', schema: 'public', table: 'orders' },
    (payload) => console.log('New order:', payload.new))
  .subscribe();

// RLS-protected query — only returns current user's rows
const { data: orders } = await supabase
  .from('orders')
  .select('*, products(*)')
  .eq('status', 'pending')
  .order('created_at', { ascending: false });

What our Supabase developers know

Every Krapton developer is vetted with real production experience in Supabase across multiple industry domains.

Hire a developerSchedule a call
  • Supabase client SDKUsing the supabase-js client for auth, queries, realtime, and storage.
  • RLS policy designWriting secure row-level security policies for multi-tenant SaaS applications.
  • Database migrationsManaging schema changes with supabase CLI and versioned migration files.
  • Auth integrationImplementing OAuth flows, magic links, and session management in Next.js.
  • Real-time featuresBuilding live dashboards, collaborative tools, and notifications with Supabase Realtime.
  • Edge FunctionsWriting and deploying Deno-based edge functions for webhooks and custom API logic.

What our Supabase developers go deep on

  • Row level security & multi-tenancy

    Designing RLS policies keyed on auth.uid() and custom JWT claims, separate policies for select/insert/update/delete, role-based access for organizations and teams, and verifying isolation by testing with the anon and authenticated roles rather than trusting the client.

  • supabase-js v2 & data access

    Idiomatic use of the v2 client for queries, filters, nested selects with foreign-key relationships, upserts, RPC calls to Postgres functions, pagination, and avoiding N+1 patterns by selecting related rows in a single query.

  • Auth & SSR in the Next.js App Router

    Cookie-based sessions with @supabase/ssr, middleware token refresh, reading the session safely in server components, OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple), magic links, email/password, and never exposing the service-role key to the browser.

  • Realtime: postgres_changes, broadcast & presence

    Choosing the right channel type — postgres_changes for database sync, broadcast for low-latency ephemeral events, presence for who's-online and cursors — and keeping RLS in force so realtime never leaks rows a user can't see.

  • Edge Functions on Deno

    Writing and deploying Deno edge functions for webhooks, Stripe and third-party integrations, scheduled jobs, and server-side logic that needs secrets, with proper CORS, JWT verification, and service-role usage confined to the server.

  • pgvector, embeddings & RAG

    Enabling the vector extension, choosing embedding dimensions, creating IVFFlat/HNSW indexes, writing similarity-search SQL functions, and building retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that keep embeddings alongside relational data.

  • Migrations, local dev & branching

    Supabase CLI for local development, versioned SQL migrations checked into Git, seed data, preview/branch databases per pull request, and reproducible deploys instead of dashboard-only changes.

  • Performance, pooling & scaling

    Configuring connection pooling (Supavisor/pgBouncer) for serverless and edge runtimes, indexing for the auto-generated API, EXPLAIN ANALYZE on slow queries, and managing storage egress and Postgres compute as the project grows.

Common Supabase projects we deliver

  • Migrating off Firebase to a relational backend

    Teams hit Firestore's limits — no real joins, awkward queries, vendor lock-in, and security rules that are hard to reason about. We model the relational schema, port auth and storage, rebuild queries against Postgres with RLS, and remove lock-in by keeping the option to self-host.

  • Hardening an existing Supabase project

    A common scenario: an MVP shipped fast, RLS is partial or disabled, the service-role key leaked into client code, and connection pooling was never configured. We audit policies, lock down keys, add pooling for serverless, fix N+1 selects, and add tests so the security posture is provable.

  • Scaling realtime features without a separate service

    Apps that bolted on a custom WebSocket layer can consolidate onto Supabase Realtime — postgres_changes for state, broadcast/presence for ephemeral signals — reducing moving parts while keeping latency low.

  • Adding AI to an existing product

    Bring semantic search, document Q&A, or recommendations to a live app by adding the pgvector extension, an embeddings pipeline, and similarity queries — without migrating to a separate vector database.

  • Local-first development with migrations and branching

    Setting up a proper workflow — Supabase CLI for local dev, versioned SQL migrations in source control, seed data, and preview/branch databases per pull request — so changes are reviewable and deploys are reproducible instead of clicked into the dashboard.

Supabase solutions by industry

  • SaaS & B2B platforms

    Multi-tenant data isolation with RLS, role-based access via JWT claims, and per-organization billing and audit logs — the security model SaaS buyers expect from day one.

  • Fintech & financial tools

    Strict data isolation, immutable audit trails using Postgres triggers, and database-enforced access control where RLS provides a defensible, testable security boundary.

  • Healthtech & wellness

    Patient/record data separated per tenant and per role at the database layer, private storage buckets with signed URLs, and careful handling of access scopes for sensitive data.

  • Marketplaces & two-sided platforms

    Buyer/seller data models with RLS-scoped visibility, realtime order and messaging updates, and storage for listings and media — all on one Postgres backend.

  • AI & developer products

    Embedding stores with pgvector, RAG pipelines, usage metering, and edge functions for model and webhook integrations, kept close to the application data.

  • Startups & MVPs

    Founders who need a full backend fast — auth, database, storage, and APIs — on a stack that scales with them and never forces a rewrite to escape vendor lock-in.

Supabase vs Firebase

Supabase and Firebase both give you a managed backend with auth, storage, and realtime, but the core data model is the fundamental difference: Supabase is a relational PostgreSQL database while Firebase's Firestore is a NoSQL document store. That choice drives everything else — querying, security, portability, and how the product scales. This is an honest comparison, not a pitch; the right answer depends on your data and team.

Hiring Supabase developers — answered

Practical answers to the questions CTOs and founders ask us most often before they hire.

How quickly can I hire a Supabase developer from Krapton?

Within 24 hours of the initial call. We keep a bench of pre-vetted Supabase engineers, so once you confirm the brief we line up two or three shortlisted CVs within a business day and can onboard the selected developer within two.

How much does it cost to hire a dedicated Supabase developer from India?

Blended hourly rates for senior Supabase engineers typically fall in the $22–$45 USD range depending on seniority and engagement length. Dedicated developers are billed monthly with no lock-in.

Are your Supabase developers full-time employees or freelancers?

Every Supabase developer you hire through Krapton is a full-time, in-house engineer — we never subcontract to freelancers or agencies. That means consistent code quality, signed NDAs, and a single point of accountability for your project.

Who owns the code and IP my Supabase developers write?

You do — 100%. IP assignment and confidentiality are covered by the contract and a free NDA on request. All code lives in your repositories, on your infrastructure, under your accounts from day one.

What should a senior Supabase developer be able to prove in an interview?

Beyond using the dashboard, a strong candidate can write correct Row Level Security policies keyed on auth.uid() and JWT claims, explain why the service-role key must stay server-side, set up connection pooling for serverless functions, model relational data with proper foreign keys, and implement SSR auth in the Next.js App Router with @supabase/ssr. The best candidates treat Supabase as PostgreSQL with conveniences, not as a magic box — and we screen specifically for that.

How does Supabase compare to Firebase for our project?

Choose Supabase when your data is relational, you want SQL with real joins and transactions, you need database-enforced security via RLS, you want to avoid vendor lock-in (it is open-source and self-hostable), or you plan to add AI features with pgvector. Firebase can be a better fit for rapid mobile apps deep in the Google/GCP ecosystem with simple document data. We are happy to give an honest recommendation for your specific case during a free consultation.

Can your developers fix or audit an existing Supabase project?

Yes. A frequent engagement is auditing a project that shipped fast: we check that RLS is enabled on every table with correct policies, confirm the service-role key isn't exposed client-side, add connection pooling for serverless workloads, eliminate N+1 queries on nested selects, and add tests so the security posture is provable rather than assumed.

Do you build AI features with Supabase pgvector?

Yes. We enable the pgvector extension, design the embedding storage and indexes (IVFFlat or HNSW), build the embeddings pipeline, and write similarity-search functions for semantic search, document Q&A, and retrieval-augmented generation — keeping vectors in the same RLS-protected Postgres database as your application data, which avoids running a separate vector store for most products.

How do you handle Supabase Auth in the Next.js App Router?

We use @supabase/ssr with cookie-based sessions, refresh tokens in middleware, and read the session safely in server components so tokens never leak to the client. We support OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple), magic links, and email/password, and we keep RLS as the enforcement layer so the API is secure regardless of what the front end does.

Should I self-host Supabase or use the managed platform?

Most teams start on the managed platform for speed and operational simplicity, and that's the right default. Because Supabase is open-source and Postgres-standard, you keep the option to self-host later for data-residency, compliance, or cost reasons — that lack of lock-in is a key advantage over Firebase. We can architect for either and help you migrate if requirements change.

What are the most common Supabase mistakes you guard against?

The big ones are: RLS disabled or policies missing on a table (making it public via the anon key), the service-role key leaking into client code, no connection pooling causing exhausted Postgres connections under serverless load, N+1 queries from looping client calls instead of nested selects, and treating realtime as automatically secure when it still honors (or should honor) RLS. We screen for all of these and design to avoid them.

Which time zones do you cover, and can you overlap with my team?

Our team works from India (IST) and maintains 4-6 hours of daily overlap with PST, EST, GMT, and CET, so standups, pairing, and reviews happen in real time. We serve clients across the US, UK, UAE, India, Australia, and Canada, and adapt working hours to your core collaboration window.
