Supabase + Next.js Stack

The Perfect Next.js & Supabase
Stack for AI Startups

Stop configuring databases. Use our pre-built stack with pgvector for embeddings, Row Level Security for data safety, and Edge Functions for low-latency AI responses.

Get the Boilerplate

Supabase Vectors

Forget Pinecone or Weaviate. We use Supabase's native pgvector extension. Your embeddings live right next to your user data—simplifying queries and reducing latency.

Next.js Edge Runtime

AI responses need to be fast. Our API routes are configured to run on the Edge, streaming tokens from OpenAI/Claude directly to the client with zero cold starts.

Row Level Security

Don't leak user data. Our boilerplate comes with RLS policies pre-written. Users can only access their own generations, credits, and history. Secure by default.

Production-Ready Code Included

lib/supabase/vectors.ts
// Example: Search your vector embeddings natively in Supabase
export async function searchDocuments(query: string) {
  const embedding = await generateEmbedding(query);
  
  const { data, error } = await supabase
    .rpc('match_documents', {
      query_embedding: embedding,
      match_threshold: 0.78, // Semantic similarity threshold
      match_count: 5         // Number of chunks to retrieve
    });

  if (error) throw error;
  return data;
}

This code is included in the boilerplate, fully typed and ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Supabase for AI apps?

Supabase provides a complete backend-as-a-service. For AI specifically, its `pgvector` support means you don't need a separate vector database (like Pinecone) to store embeddings for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). It simplifies your stack and reduces costs.

Can I swap Supabase for Firebase?

Technically yes, but we don't recommend it for AI apps. Firebase lacks native vector search capabilities, meaning you'd need to sync data to a third-party vector DB. Our stack keeps everything in one PostgreSQL instance.

Is this Next.js 16?

Yes, the boilerplate is built on the latest Next.js 16 App Router, using Server Actions for data mutations and React Server Components for optimal performance.
