Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) vs. Supabase

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you up to focus on your apps so you can give them the better performance, availability, security, and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on 6 familiar database instances: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server engines.

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform that enables developers to build and scale applications efficiently without managing server infrastructure. Launched in 2020 as an alternative to Firebase, Supabase offers a suite of tools including a PostgreSQL database, authentication, real-time subscriptions, and storage capabilities. By leveraging the robustness of PostgreSQL, Supabase provides a scalable and secure foundation for modern web and mobile applications.
