Why We Often Pick Supabase Over Firebase

If you have an existing Firebase project: Migration to Supabase is possible. Migration scripts: Firestore JSON → PostgreSQL tables, Firebase Auth → Supabase Auth, FCM notifications via Supabase Functions.

Reasons: Cost (50-70% savings at scale), SQL power, open source, self-host option (for compliance).

Risk: Migration is not an easy call — if existing code is heavily Firebase-bound, it's complex. Usually we write new features in Supabase, keep old Firebase running.

New project: Our default recommendation is Supabase. More modern, more flexible, future-proof.

Self-host: For sensitive sectors (health, banking, KVKK) we can install Supabase on your own server. Open-source advantage.
