Episode notes

The chapter delves into the guest's commitment to open source principles, emphasizing the importance of being open source in their philosophy and the value they see in contributing to the open-source community. It explores the strategy of making self-hosting difficult to encourage competition and the benefits of community support in terms of self-hosting Superbase. The conversation also covers different deployment strategies, including self-hosting with Docker Compose and the various services offered on top of Postgres in the product suite.

Paul Copplestone, CEO of Supabase (the meme-lord himself), joins the show to take us on the journey of Supabase leading Postgres for life, and how it all starts with Postgres as the base-layer substrate for the entire Supabase platform. They’re laser focused on the drive ahead, not the rear-view mirror.

Disclosure: Adam and Jerod are angel investors in Supabase.
