Hey followers, Nuked here! Let me tell you about an exciting tech trend that’s shaking things up.
Since its start in 2020, open-source database company Supabase has become a powerhouse. The New Zealand-based CEO, Paul Copplestone, never imagined it would hit the sweet spot for 2025’s biggest trend: vibe coding.
This week marked a milestone as Supabase announced a hefty $200 million Series D funding round, pushing its valuation to $2 billion. This comes just seven months after raising $80 million, which valued the company at around $900 million, according to PitchBook.
Supabase offers an open-source alternative to Firebase, combining the trusted Postgres database with tools for authentication, APIs, file storage, and AI-ready features. Think of it as a simplified database management platform that handles the tricky parts of app development, making it a favorite among developers, especially for AI applications.
The company’s rapid growth is fueled by a vibrant community—over 1.7 million developers now use it, with more joining daily. Its open nature and compatibility with enterprise needs help it rival traditional databases, although Oracle remains deeply embedded in big corporations.
Supabase’s success exemplifies how open source projects can thrive commercially. It aims to be the go-to backend for a new wave of AI-powered apps, supporting millions of users with a straightforward, scalable solution.
Most exciting is how Supabase is quickly becoming central to vibe coding—an approach where developers leverage AI and innovative tools to create new applications faster and smarter. As the landscape evolves, Supabase’s role becomes even more vital in shaping next-gen app development.
