I am a huge fan of this stack. I love that Supabase is spending millions of VC money to popularise this stack, solving all issues, improving PostgreSQL and PostgREST, writing documentation, conference talks etc. kind of sucks the stack success requires Supabase to die (technology becoming commodity, which it already it, Supabase people did make everything open source, true to their promises).

Supabase has zero differentiation. They have a nice "PGAdmin" if you may, but no one will pay for entire database hosting because of an admin interface. When it comes to hosting DB AWS, Azure etc have massive advantage.

Supabase will simply popularise the stack, and then when time to actually host the database comes people will move from Supabase to AWS etc.

Also the best language for UI is not JS, but something like FTD if we continue to make the progress we are making. Hopefully FTD + SQL Is all you need to know soon. Checkout this design that we are working towards for making this a reality: https://fpm.dev/journal/#explanation-of-dynamic-documents-an...
