The honest brief
Cloudflare
R2 storage charges zero egress fees and Workers run isolate-per-request at the edge — cheaper, closer than Node.
- R2 object storage with no egress fees
- Global edge runtime, low latency
- Workers + D1 + R2 + KV in one platform
- Generous free tier
- Workers isolate model isn't full Node.js
- D1/Durable Objects still maturing
- Some products have CPU-time limits
- Edge-first model needs app rethinking
Supabase
Plain Postgres as the backend — open source and self-hostable, so no proprietary data lock-in.
- Full Postgres, not a custom datastore
- Auth, storage, realtime, edge funcs bundled
- Built-in pgvector for embeddings
- Generous free tier and fast local dev
- Postgres knowledge needed for advanced use
- Self-hosting full stack is involved
- Smaller ecosystem than Firebase
