## Summary

Supabase compiles an overview of customer case studies documenting how organizations deploy its platform across production environments. Multiple companies report infrastructure migrations, including Firecrawl switching from Pinecone to Supabase Vector for PostgreSQL vector embeddings and Mobbin moving 200,000 users from Firebase. Engineering teams document operational gains and cost efficiencies, such as Shotgun achieving an 83% reduction in data infrastructure expenses and Quilia saving 75% in development time using Data API and RLS features. Other organizations highlight infrastructure performance improvements, including Good Tape recording a 60% cost reduction alongside database efficiency gains after migrating to Supabase managed Postgres and Authentication. Teams also report accelerated implementation speeds, with Replenysh delivering OTP functionality in less than 24 hours and Xendit releasing a full solution to production within one week.

## Context

Organizations across various industries seek to quickly build products, scale infrastructure, streamline authentication, and reduce SaaS and data infrastructure costs.

## Approach / What changed

Companies adopt Supabase features—including managed Postgres, Supabase Vector, Authentication, Data APIs, and RLS—often migrating workloads from services such as Firebase, Pinecone, AWS RDS, and Fauna.

## Takeaways

- Shotgun achieved an 83% reduction in data infrastructure costs following a migration to Supabase.
- Firecrawl switched from Pinecone to Supabase Vector for PostgreSQL vector embeddings, and Berri AI migrated from AWS RDS to Supabase Vector.
- Good Tape achieved database efficiency and a 60% cost reduction by migrating to Supabase managed Postgres and Authentication.
