Do you set up Row Level Security on Supabase?+
Yes, on every table. RLS is the core of Supabase security, without it, your anon key can expose the whole database. We write, test, and document policies so each row is only readable and writable by who it should be, including multi-tenant isolation.
Can you design or fix our Postgres schema?+
Yes. We design normalized schemas with proper indexes, foreign keys, and version-controlled migrations, and we refactor existing schemas that were never built for scale, without losing your data.
Can you build Supabase edge functions and auth flows?+
Yes. We build Deno edge functions for server-side logic, configure Supabase Auth with custom JWT claims and role-based access, and verify webhooks so your business logic runs securely close to the database.
Can Supabase power RAG and AI features?+
Yes. We use pgvector to turn Postgres into your vector store, storing embeddings, running similarity search, and building RAG pipelines so your product retrieves and reasons over your own data without a separate vector database.
Do you maintain and scale Supabase after launch?+
Yes. For production backends we recommend ongoing monitoring, query and index tuning, connection pooling, backups, and version upgrades so growth and Supabase changes never silently break your app.
How does one engineer secure an entire backend?+
A fleet of agents writes and tests RLS policies, schema migrations, and edge functions in parallel, while the engineer reviews every security-critical decision, so coverage matches a team without the headcount.
What is Supabase good for, and where does it bite?+
Supabase is good for shipping a product fast on real Postgres, with auth, storage, realtime and edge functions included. It bites when tables go live without Row Level Security, when the schema is never designed, or when a service key ends up in client code. Each of these can expose your data.
How do I know if my Supabase project is leaking data?+
Check whether every table in an exposed schema has Row Level Security enabled with policies, whether the service role key appears anywhere in frontend code, and whether storage buckets are public. We run these checks in the audit, then test policies as each user role to confirm what each one can read.
Should we use Supabase or build our own backend?+
Use Supabase when you want Postgres plus auth, storage and realtime without running them yourself. Build your own when you need heavy custom infrastructure or hosting rules Supabase cannot meet. Because Supabase is standard Postgres, moving later is possible, and version-controlled migrations make that easier.
How is this different from hiring a freelance Supabase developer?+
A freelancer often builds features without a security review. We write Row Level Security policies for the tables in scope, test them per role, version every migration and document the data model, so the next developer, ours or yours, can change the backend without reopening holes.
Can you fix a Supabase backend built with Lovable, v0 or Replit?+
Yes. AI-built apps often create tables quickly without access rules or indexes. We audit the schema, add and test Row Level Security, move secrets server-side and add migrations, without rebuilding the frontend you already have.
Do you use pgvector or a separate vector database for AI features?+
For most products, pgvector in the same Supabase Postgres is enough and keeps your data and access rules in one place. We suggest a separate vector database only when volume or query patterns clearly outgrow Postgres, and we say so during the audit, not after the build.
