Replacement brief

Supabase

Replaces managed postgres + auth + storage

MediumDatabase~$25/mo typical

Postgres plus batteries. The Postgres part is easy to self-host; the Auth/Storage/Realtime surface is what you'd be rebuilding.

The verdict weighs direct cost against maintenance, reliability, migration risk, and founder time.

Start with one command

A Teploy-style starting point for a small VPS. Review the generated configuration, then replace the example host and domain with your own.

teploy deploy --compose supabase --host hetzner --domain db.example.com
Before you migrate

Price the operational work alongside the server bill. Self-hosting the full Supabase stack is ~12 containers. If you only need Postgres, just run Postgres.
