Overview

What is Supabase?

Supabase is an open source Backend as a service (BAAS) solution that is used by the ABAIR project as the main database, auth and file storage.

Our Usage

Our goal is to run one central, self-hosted Supabase instance to which all projects can connect. This has been set up at https:/supabase.abair.ie, but is not running in production yet. Our production instance is currently run on Supabase cloud (we will migrate in summer 2024).

This Guide

Every developer working on an ABAIR application which uses Supabase should be running their own local version in development. This guide will help developers set up their own instance, and run migrations to update the production instance when fully tested.

NOTE

Our hosted supabase instance is currently not in use as of 22/07/2025
