PostgreSQL with row-level security, Auth with OAuth, file storage, Edge Functions for serverless logic, and Realtime subscriptions. Supabase is the fastest way to ship a production backend — this course covers all five pillars.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on supabase you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
This course is built by engineers who ship supabase systems in production. It reflects how these tools actually behave at scale.
Every day includes working code examples you can copy, run, and modify right now. Understanding comes through doing.
Instead of re-explaining existing documentation, this course links to the definitive open-source implementations and the best reference material on supabase available.
Each day is designed for about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. Do the whole course over a week of lunch breaks. No live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
Supabase project setup, the Table Editor vs raw SQL, foreign keys, indexes, and row-level security (RLS) — the Supabase feature that enforces data access rules at the database level, eliminating entire classes of application security bugs.
Supabase Auth configuration, OAuth providers (Google, GitHub), magic link email flow, session management in React with @supabase/ssr, JWTs, and combining auth user IDs with RLS policies for secure multi-user apps.
Supabase Storage buckets, public vs private files, storage policies using RLS, presigned URLs for time-limited access, image transformations, and the patterns for handling user file uploads in production apps.
Deno-based Edge Functions, writing TypeScript serverless functions, calling external APIs, the CORS setup needed for browser-called functions, and Edge Function triggers for database webhooks.
Realtime subscriptions for live data sync, broadcast for ephemeral events, Presence for online/offline status, production database configuration, connection pooling with PgBouncer (built-in), and the Supabase dashboard production checklist.
Instead of shooting our own videos, we link to the best deep-dives already on YouTube. Watch them alongside the course. All external, all free, all from builders who ship this stuff.
Complete Supabase project setup — database, auth, and storage with the Supabase dashboard and client libraries.
Writing RLS policies that enforce data access at the database level — the most important Supabase security feature.
Setting up OAuth, magic links, and session management with Supabase Auth and the Next.js SSR package.
Writing and deploying Deno-based Edge Functions — serverless TypeScript that runs at the edge with access to your Supabase database.
Subscribing to database changes in real time, broadcast events, and Presence — building live collaborative features with Supabase.
The best way to deepen understanding is to read the canonical open-source implementations. Clone them, trace the code, understand how the concepts in this course get applied in production.
The full Supabase platform source. The /apps/docs and /examples directories are the canonical references for every feature in this course.
The Supabase JavaScript client. Reading the auth and realtime implementations shows how the client manages sessions and WebSocket subscriptions.
The GoTrue-based auth server behind Supabase Auth. Reading the OAuth flow implementation shows exactly what happens during social login.
Official Next.js + Supabase starter template with auth, server components, and RLS policies pre-configured.
Supabase gives you a production PostgreSQL database, auth, and file storage with zero backend code. This course shows you how to use all of it from a React or Next.js app.
Supabase removes the backend infrastructure work from early-stage product development. This course covers the five features that replace what would otherwise take weeks to build.
Supabase is the open-source Firebase alternative with PostgreSQL instead of a document database. This course gives you enough depth to evaluate it for your use case.
