Frequently Asked Questions

Why migrate from Supabase to Neon?

Neon offers serverless PostgreSQL with instant branching, scale-to-zero compute, and a generous free tier. It is ideal for serverless architectures where you want direct database access without the Supabase SDK layer.

Is the Supabase to Neon migration safe?

Yes. Both use PostgreSQL, so your schema, data, and RLS policies transfer directly. Nivo converts the application-layer SDK calls from Supabase's client library to standard PostgreSQL queries via your ORM or query builder of choice.

How long does the migration take?

Code migration typically completes in 10 to 15 minutes. Database migration depends on data volume; pg_dump/pg_restore handles the data transfer since both platforms are PostgreSQL.

What replaces Supabase Auth?

Nivo can set up Auth.js (NextAuth), Clerk, or custom JWT authentication. User data can be exported from Supabase Auth and imported into your new auth provider.

Does Neon support Supabase's realtime features?

Neon does not have a built-in realtime subscription service like Supabase. Nivo flags realtime usage and recommends alternatives: logical replication with custom websockets, or third-party services like Ably or Pusher.
