What is serious business? I think supabase can scale brilliantly, and it doesn't lock you in, if you have need for some special infra you can build and integrate it, I don't know but you could possibly even use FDW to access a postgres you run yourself.

Also they can't run on AWS postgres with all their postgres plug-ins AFAIK.

The point of "cheaper to host everything yourself" is a lot higher than what most estimate.

My only concern is that is supabase goes out of business or go evil you're gonna have a bad time, however everything is open-source



Serious business is when you need to maintain uptime and stability. Not just me, but a lot of folks on the Supabase reddit have complained often about the insane downtimes that we've experienced at times with the platform. I would 100% use it for prototypes and MVPs, but for production? Neither me nor a lot of others would touch it with a pole, even though I'm sure your experience might be different.
