Question 1

What does a Supabase consultant do?

Accepted Answer

We design schemas and Row Level Security policies, migrate apps from Firebase, MongoDB, or legacy Postgres to Supabase, audit and fix performance problems, and build or rescue full-stack Supabase apps (Auth, Edge Functions, Realtime, Storage, pgvector).

Question 2

How long does a Firebase to Supabase migration take?

Accepted Answer

Most production Firebase to Supabase migrations land in 3 to 8 weeks depending on data volume, auth complexity, and how many security rules need to translate into RLS. We start with a fixed-scope audit so the timeline and risk are clear before any data moves.

Question 3

Do you write Row Level Security (RLS) policies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RLS is the most common reason teams call us. We design tenant isolation, role-based access, and helper functions, and we write the policy tests so changes don't silently break authorization.

Question 4

Can you fix a slow Supabase project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Typical performance work covers slow-query analysis with EXPLAIN, missing or wrong indexes, connection pooling via Supavisor or PgBouncer, N+1 patterns in client code, and Realtime channel design. You get a written report and the patches applied.

Question 5

Do you work with startups or agencies?

Accepted Answer

Both. Startups and founders hire us to ship or unblock their Supabase app. Agencies bring us in as a specialist subcontractor for the database layer on client projects.

Question 6

Where are you based and which time zones do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We work remotely with clients worldwide and overlap with European, US, and Asia-Pacific business hours.
