Supabase Pitfalls: Avoid These Common Mistakes for a Robust Backend​

Supabase offers a powerful open-source alternative to Firebase, built around PostgreSQL. Its ease of use makes it a favorite for rapid development, but this very convenience can lead developers down paths that introduce technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities. Understanding and avoiding these common pitfalls is crucial for building a robust and scalable application.
