Supabase is a Singapore-based tech company that offers an open-source alternative to Firebase, a popular app development platform.
The former provides developers with tools to quickly build and scale their web and mobile applications, including those for databases, user management, and media storage.
Recently, Supabase acquired storage extension Oriole for an undisclosed sum.
Oriole focuses on the database side of app development. It built a cloud-native storage engine, bringing more capabilities to PostgreSQL – an open-source system used by programmers to store and retrieve data for their applications.
According to Oriole, its extension for PostgreSQL is designed for modern hardware and requires less maintenance. Supabase said it will be offering Oriole’s services as an option for developers in the future.
Supabase was founded in 2020 by Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson. Since then, it has grown to onboard companies like Xendit and Mendable as its clients.
The company most recently raised funding in 2022, securing US$80 million in a series B round led by investment firm Felicis.
