Supabase Is Not Tied to Vercel
Many developers deploy to Vercel by default because Supabase's documentation examples use it. But Supabase is a backend service — your project URL, anon key, and service role key work from any frontend host. You're not locked in to Vercel.
In fact, some of Vercel's limitations actively hurt Supabase apps. Serverless function timeouts break long-running Supabase queries and Edge Function calls. And Vercel's usage-based pricing gets expensive as your app grows.
What a Supabase App Needs From Its Host
- Environment variable support — Securely store your Supabase URL, anon key, and service role key
- No function timeout limits — Some Supabase operations (large queries, Edge Functions) take time
- Auth redirect handling — Your host must support custom callback URLs for Supabase Auth
- CORS-friendly deployment — Your API routes need to accept requests from your domain correctly
- Background workers (optional) — For apps that need scheduled jobs to interact with Supabase
- Full-stack support — Server-side rendering and API routes, not just static files
Why SupaDeploy Is Built for Supabase Apps
SupaDeploy was designed with Supabase as a first-class integration. Every feature is built around the assumption that your app uses Supabase for auth, database, and storage.
Native environment handling
Supabase credentials are recognized and managed securely. No copy-pasting keys between dashboards.
Auth callback support
Configure your Supabase Auth redirect URLs to point to your SupaDeploy domain with no extra configuration.
Background jobs for Supabase
Run scheduled jobs that query your Supabase database, send emails based on data, or sync external APIs into Supabase tables.
Full-stack Next.js support
Server components, API routes, and middleware all work — including server-side Supabase client calls.
How to Move Your Supabase App to SupaDeploy
Push your code to GitHub
Make sure your Supabase app code is in a GitHub repository. SupaDeploy deploys directly from Git.
Add your Supabase credentials
In SupaDeploy's project settings, add NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, and SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY.
Update Supabase Auth redirect URLs
In your Supabase project's Auth settings, add your SupaDeploy preview and production URLs as allowed redirect URLs.
Test and go live
Use SupaDeploy's preview URL to verify everything works, then attach your custom domain to go live.
