Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently building a crypto Saas and I’m at a decision point regarding the backend setup.

Right now, my stack includes Lovable + Vercel, and I’ve been exploring two options for handling the database:

Using Lovable Cloud as the database (fully integrated, simpler workflow)

Using Supabase (more control, dedicated backend, scalable)

I’d love to get your feedback based on real experience 🙏

👉 For those who’ve used both:

Which one do you recommend for a SaaS project?

Any limitations or issues with Lovable Cloud?

Is Supabase worth the extra setup/complexity in the long run?

If you're building a serious SaaS, I would lean towards Supabase. More control and scalability matter a lot once users start growing. Lovable Cloud is good for speed, but can feel limiting later.

Saw this effect on Supabase's website and had to build it in @framer. Took longer than I'd like to admit, but here it is.
