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)
