How To Connect, Code & Debug Supabase With Bolt

**What is Supabase** and why it pairs perfectly with Bolt

Are you burning your money by using Firebase?

**Live Debugging** and why you can't trust the machine

**How to make Bolt run 5x faster and use 5x less tokens** with a single prompt

 So why do we use Supabase instead of Firebase or another alternative?

Well, there are three main reasons. First reason is that Supabase uses relational databases and relational databases are not necessarily better or worse than non-relational. It's just that since SQL is much older and much more popular than using non-relational databases, this will be easier for people to understand because it is much more universal.

Second reason is that Supabase is more cost effective than Firebase in most use cases. While firebase charges by the action. So for addition, deletion, edition or just reading data, Supabase charges by the volume of the data you have. So it's much easier to go profitable with Supabase, even with a half-baked business plan because it scales with you.

So why do we use super based instead of Firebase

First reason is that super based uses relational databases.

And relational databases are not necessarily better

this will be easier for people to understand

is more cost effective than Firebase in most use cases.

So for addition, division, addition, or just reading data,

super based charges by the volume of data you have.

So it's much easier to go proftam with super based

While on Firebase, if I have someone who does a lot of actions,

even if it's one user, I might be charged a lot for it.

While with super based, if I have a user that

then I can still keep up with a free plan for a very long time.

And the most important reason, which I left for last,

is that super based is the easiest one to connect with,

but you may have heard the saying that money loves speed.

where if you are able to deliver good quality in a fast manner,

then that's a success, whether you work on yourself

or you work for a company that just want to climb up their own.

I mean, both KSC, Spirit is one of the most important things
