What it does

ok so i got TIRED of paying firebase bills that look like my rent 😭 and supabase is cool but like... Its not totally free and also i want MY data on MY server ya know?? so i built Postbase 🎉 it's got postgres, auth (20+ providers!!), realtime, file storage, edge functions, basically everything firebase & supabase have but 100% open source (MIT) and self-hosted. one docker command and ur done 🐳 no vendor lock-in, no surprise bills, just vibes and full control 🙌

Build your backend with PostgreSQL, authentication, real-time subscriptions, storage, and edge functions. Self-hosted and open-source.

The open source alternative to Supabase and Clerk. PostgreSQL database, 25+ auth providers, file storage, and cron jobs — all self hosted and under your control. Every project is a full Postgres database , the world's most trusted relational database. Add user sign ups and logins, securing your data with Row Level Security . Store, organize, and serve large files, from videos to images. Schedule SQL snippets or HTTP requests, with full run history and no external infra. We're not here to dunk on Supabase — it's a great product, and honestly the inspiration behind half of this feature list. But when the bill shows up after your launch day traffic spike, you deserve options. Firebase is fast…from getpostbase.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
