# Supabase

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: Super base, Superbase, Supa base, Supabase database, Supabase auth

An [open source](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/open-source) [back end](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/back-end) platform built on the [Postgres](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/postgresql) [database](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/database). One project gives an app a database, [authentication](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/authentication), [file storage](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/object-storage) and [serverless functions](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/serverless). It is a [managed service](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/managed-service) for the back end of an app.

**For example:** A [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder)'s [prototype](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prototype) needs [user accounts](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/authentication) and saved data. The [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) creates a Supabase project and gets a [database](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/database) and login without setting up a [server](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/server).
