Supabase is one of the most portable platforms out there.

The whole stack is self-hostable and open source. All of the data are contained in Postgres. You're one pg_dump away from being able to switch to a different Postgres host. Or if you're switching to something else entirely, you can export the data to CSVs and take it anywhere. But we're confident you won't want to :)

Not in my experience. The documentation and infra is just not there to make it easy to use an external postgres db.

we know of many, many companies using Supabase self-hosted or with an external database.

if you have any problems, feel free to reach out to me directly. We want this to be simple (and you can see that there are non-supabase commentors in this thread who are self-hosting, so it's not just lip service)

That does not track with anything I've ever seen out of using Supabase

If you target Postgres, just about any Postgres instance works the moment you enter a connection URL.

You can hop from one managed Postgres offering to another in 10 minutes and lose no functionality. Everything from auth to programming (and even RLS implemented in the query space) will work instantly: no additional software needed.

Are you claiming that's the case with Supabase and its JWT auth/RLS entanglement?
