Summary

Mobbin, a platform that helps creators search and view design patterns from well-known apps, migrated its user base of over 200,000 users from Firebase to Supabase for better authentication experience. The company initially used Firebase but faced issues with duplicate logins, data integrity, and increasing costs due to high API requests. Mobbin found Supabase as a solution covering all their needs, including superior performance, fairer pricing, and relational database support. The migration helped improve the end-user experience and reduced monthly spending without maintaining a custom backend.
