With OnSpace's Supabase integration, you can build complete full-stack applications through simple conversations. Instead of juggling multiple tools and platforms, describe what you want to build, and OnSpace handles both the user interface and backend database automatically.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced developer, this integration eliminates the usual complexity of coordinating frontend and backend development. No coding experience required – just tell OnSpace what your app should do, and it creates everything you need.

Overview

Supabase is like having a complete backend team at your fingertips. It provides everything modern apps need: secure databases, user accounts, file storage, and real-time updates. When combined with OnSpace, you get all these powerful features without writing complex backend code or managing servers—just natural conversation.

PostgreSQL Database Foundation

Store any type of data your app needs with automatic database setup. Just describe what information you want to save (like user profiles, product reviews, or order history), and OnSpace creates all the database tables for you.

Secure User Management

Add user accounts to your app with secure login systems. Choose from email/password, Google sign-in, GitHub, or other social logins. OnSpace handles all the security and setup automatically.

Cloud File Management

Let users upload photos, documents, and other files with built-in cloud storage. Perfect for profile pictures, document sharing, or any app that needs file management capabilities.

Live Data Synchronization

Create apps that update instantly for all users. Perfect for chat apps, live dashboards, collaborative tools, or any feature where users need to see changes immediately without refreshing the page.

Serverless Backend Functions

Add advanced features like automated emails, payment processing, AI features, and connections to other services. OnSpace can help you set up these powerful backend functions when your app needs them.

Why Choose OnSpace's Supabase Integration?

Traditional app development requires separate teams for frontend (what users see) and backend (databases, servers). With OnSpace and Supabase, one conversation handles both. You describe your app idea, and OnSpace builds the complete solution.

Example in action:

For example: Say "I want customers to leave reviews with star ratings" and OnSpace creates the review form, sets up the database to store ratings and comments, and connects everything together. You get a complete working feature from one simple request.

Setup Guide: Connecting Your OnSpace Project

Prerequisites

  • Active Supabase account (free tier available)
  • OnSpace project ready for integration

1 Supabase Account Setup

First, you'll need a Supabase account. Don't worry – it's free to start and only takes a few minutes to set up. Head over to supabase.com to create your account.

Create a new organization (during signup)

When creating your new Supabase account, you'll be asked to set up an organization during the signup process. This is just a container for your projects – you can name it anything you like. Free tier users can create up to 3 projects per organization, with each project providing isolated backend services including databases, edge functions, authentication, and storage.

Create a new project

Each project provides a complete isolated backend environment with its own database, authentication system, storage, and edge functions. This means you can use different projects for different apps or environments (like development, staging, and production).
