Looks like I could have written that better, I meant to ask what Supabase's plan was to be a better alternative to Firebase, since Supabase is new and has exciting features going for it, while Firebase is old, stable, and has Google backing it with tons of content on YouTube, Medium, etc.. And this isn't me trying to be critical of the Supabase, I love what they are doing, just curious on the business aspect.

The parent comment is actually quite accurate (disregarding the FAANG acquisition - that's definitely not our plan)

We chatted to a lot of developers when we started building Supabase - all of them loved Postgres, but when we asked what they were using a large portion of them chose Firebase, because it was so much easier to get started with. They even knew that they would need to migrate away from it at some point.

So that became our goal: make Postgres as easy to use as Firebase. We're starting to shed the "firebase" positioning now. In the mid-term, you can think of us as an "open source RDS alternative", and eventually we'll be more like an "open source Aurora alternative" (with some extra bells-and-whistles)
