Summary

In the upcoming week, Supabase will transition from "supabase.io" to "supabase.com". Users do not need to make any changes as API URLs remain on "supabase.co", and only website URLs will change. The company's origin traces back to late 2019 when a Postgres Realtime engine was released on GitHub, which gained popularity leading to the formation of an open-source company with Postgres at its core. After considering various domain names, "supabase.io" was chosen as a placeholder due to its meme potential but eventually became permanent. The company later acquired "supabase.com" from a seller located near their headquarters. Users should expect minimal impact during this migration process.
