Why does every vibe coder use @supabase and not Firebase?

Never used the former so genuinely just curious.

building @partydao // writing @ buildingcrypto.xyz // Making crypto consumer friendly

Why use either? You should be running in a $15 box and skipping all of this unnecessary tech debt using managed services for 20x the price and requiring garbage code

It’s really not any harder at this point and the cost savings compounds. 

Unless you’re running prototypes and practicing, you should not be building a business on these platforms if your goal is to actually make money (note that is not the same as being on the VC train where making money is an anti goal and lowering costs is seen as a waste of time)

it’s just another variable to worry about re: managing a deployment vs. a fully managed service

I think hands on with the agent is the best way to get a handle on this. I personally find digital ocean to be pretty damn easy, the only thing that tripped me up for a few minutes was that DO uses the aws sdk for object storage, otherwise it’s easy. 

Droplets are like $15 a month, the agent knows everything you need to setup a node server using nginx and can help you ssh in and then you can use the dashboard to sanity check things

Any good resources or references on how to do this?
