What changes between Supabase and Raw PostgreSQL?

  • Supabase client SDK calls converted to parameterized SQL queries via node-postgres (pg) or Postgres.js
  • Supabase query builder (.select(), .insert(), .update()) converted to raw SQL with type safety
  • Supabase Auth replaced by standalone auth implementation (sessions, JWT, or auth library)
  • Row Level Security policies remain in PostgreSQL; application enforces auth context via SET ROLE
  • Supabase Storage API replaced by direct S3/filesystem storage implementation
  • Supabase Realtime removed; replaced by PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY or websocket layer
  • Connection pooling managed directly via PgBouncer or application-level pooling
  • Type generation switches from Supabase CLI to custom schema-to-types tooling or ORM inference

Frequently Asked Questions

Why migrate away from Supabase to raw PostgreSQL?

Direct PostgreSQL access eliminates the Supabase SDK dependency, gives you full control over connection management, and avoids platform-specific abstractions. It is ideal for teams that want maximum flexibility and have the expertise to manage their own database infrastructure.

Is this migration safe for production apps?

Yes. Nivo converts every Supabase SDK call to equivalent parameterized SQL. Your database, schema, and RLS policies remain unchanged. Only the application layer code changes.

How long does the migration take?

Most projects complete in 10 to 15 minutes. The primary work is converting Supabase query builder calls to SQL statements and setting up a connection pool configuration.

What about Supabase Auth?

Nivo replaces Supabase Auth with a standalone implementation. Options include Auth.js, Lucia, or custom JWT-based auth. User data must be exported from Supabase Auth separately.

Can I still use the same PostgreSQL database?

Yes. If you self-host or use any PostgreSQL provider, the same database and schema work. You just connect directly instead of through Supabase's API layer.
