Dumb question from someone who hasn’t been keeping up with this particular subsphere of app dev…

What’s the ideal use case for Supabase? It seems oriented towards “serverless” apps given the mentions of edge functions, but does it fit in as a component of an app with a more traditional back end?

Supabase is just Postgres. You can connect to the Postgres database using all the tools you're familiar with. Every project runs on an isolated ec2 instance (including free-tier)

We provide additional tools that make it easy to use/connect to the database (PostgREST, pgbouncer, etc), but these are completely optional
