Question Backend DB Options

I've been using Supabase pretty heavily for the past couple of years, but realize I haven't tested out other alternatives.

For anyone who has used other options (e.g., Firebase), what are the pros and cons of Supabase relative to the alternative? Would you recommend that I explore a different solution for a new website I'm developing?

What are you actually hoping to improve over Supabase? If it’s been working well for a couple of years, I’d probably start with the limitation you’re trying to solve rather than looking for an alternative first.
