I have been bitten by Firebase scalability restrictions before, so good to see alternatives coming up. How do you compare to Supabase (http://supabase.io/)?

Thanks.

Nhost and Supabase both use Postgres.

The difference is that we use GraphQL (Hasura) for the API layer. We also offer authentication (email/password + OAuth) and storage (Minio S3) with permissions.

I think I've read something about Supabase adding authentication recently or they are working on it (https://supabase.io/docs/library/authentication/).

Thanks for the mention - I’m a cofounder of Supabase.

Yes, we have released Auth, using Postgres Row Level Security and Netlify’s GoTrue.
