# Supabase

## Profile

Open-source Firebase alternative. Provides managed [[entity-postgresql]] hosting plus serverless 'edge functions' for back-end logic.

## Role in This Source

Supabase is the speaker's recommended deployment substrate for the [[concept-open-brain-d22]]:

- **Hosted Postgres** with [[entity-pgvector]] one click away.
- **Edge functions** that handle the **Process** step of [[framework-open-brain-architecture]] — receiving raw text from a [[entity-slack-d22]] webhook, calling an embedding model, calling an LLM for metadata extraction, and writing the result into the database.

The choice of Supabase preserves the openness goal: the underlying Postgres is portable. If you ever leave Supabase, you take your data with you in a standard `pg_dump`. That contrasts sharply with the proprietary memory features critiqued in [[claim-saas-memory-lock-in]].
