Using Supabase with managed Postgres (e.g. AWS RDS)
Hi everyone,
I was considering using Supabase (self-hosted) for a new enterprise project. One of the requirements is that the database must be able to run on a managed service (e.g., Amazon RDS).
While the documentation states that you can simply connect to an external database, I’ve found that this doesn’t really work without the Supabase Postgres image. The main issue isn’t just migrations but also missing extensions, which typically cannot be installed on a managed database.
This leads me to the conclusion that Supabase cannot be run with a standard Postgres instance. Is this assumption correct, or does anyone here have additional insights?
Either way, I thought this thread could serve as a place to discuss similar requirements.
