What are some of the largest production applications built using Supabase? I know it's popular for whipping something up for a hackathon, but how battle tested is it?

Also does anybody know what they're doing behind the scenes with the database? I know their storage uses s3, functions (I think) use Deno, this uses BigQuery. Is their db on RDS/Aurora? If so how do they claim max DB size of 1024 TB while Aurora is 128 TB?

- Storage: s3 - Database: EC2 t4g - Functions: Deno

We have tens-of-thousands of applications using Supabase in production. "Size" is a hard one to answer because it means different things to different people. We have projects that have databases and storage in the hundreds-of-terrabytes, projects making millions of API requests, and logos from Fortune 100 companies.

*hundreds-of-gigabytes - not terabytes. apologies, I’m responding too fast this week, and don’t want to mislead anyone

How do you claim max DB size of 1024TB, are you guys using Citus? Would the user need to handle partitioning etc at that size?

That is a now incorrect, and I will get the team to correct it. The max is 64TB (the size of a EBS volume, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/volume_c...)

Thank you for pointing it out
