Supabase vs Rest Api

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Supabase and I have a few questions before deciding whether to skip building a custom backend and rely on Supabase instead:

How secure is Supabase from a production standpoint?

How well does Supabase scale with growing user activity?

If needed, can I later replace Supabase with my own REST API and still use the same PostgreSQL database?

How easy is it to migrate both the database and the users from Supabase to another system if needed?

When is it better to use Supabase versus building a custom REST API from the start?

I've just finished building the frontend for my MVP and I'm aiming to launch as quickly as possible. The app is similar to Tinder in concept, so my main concern is whether Supabase can handle real-time user growth and scaling if traction picks up.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
