I don't recommend Supabase for your personal projects

I recently built my wedding website in NextJS — I have a lot of experience with React and hosting via Vercel is free for the traffic I expect to get.

There is information about the wedding on there, but I also wanted to collect RSVP's via a form. I wanted to try Supabase for this purpose. The development experience was good, the dashboard is nice but recently this has been my life...

Me and Ant Wilson are best friends now...


Supabase will pause projects after seven days of inactivity. Our wedding guests are not RSVP'ing every single day so this happens every seven days for me. 

Not a knock against this product, but just be aware of this rule if you want to use Supabase for a project with infrequent activity.
