For small projects, Supabase is actually a pretty good solution.

If you stay within the limits or don't mind paying for the cloud, it really saves time.

Many people now use Supabase together with n8n, a visual automation tool where you build logic from blocks: triggers, requests, actions, integrations. No code, or very little. You start in minutes, and a lot works out of the box.

For prototypes and small services it's fine.
