Preface

Technology and web development have always fascinated me. Over the past 23 years, I’ve navigated the evolving landscape of coding, starting from my self-taught beginnings at the age of 11. Back then, the internet presented different challenges, such as achieving a proper box model in Internet Explorer or using border-radius and transparent PNGs.

As a web app architect, I carefully choose technology stacks. While I stay at the cutting edge of web development and closely observe new hypes, I don’t like to adopt them immediately. Instead, I evaluate them meticulously. My extensive JavaScript experience has given me a broad, well-informed perspective and taught me to trust my gut feeling, developed over years of diverse projects and challenges.

My journey with Supabase has been unique as it’s one of the rare stacks I can use for nearly any project, no matter which additional stack surrounds it, thanks to its superpowered Postgres database with an “all batteries included” approach.

This book is a culmination of my experiences, insights, and countless hours spent exploring Supabase. My hope is that it will not only guide you through the technical aspects but also inspire you to see the potential and possibilities that Supabase offers. We are at an exciting juncture in web development, and together, we will explore how Supabase can transform your projects and reshape the way you think about web development.

Welcome to the world of Supabase!
