## Enterprise Cloud Architecture
Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. It provides all the backend features you need to build a product: a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Edge Functions, Realtime subscriptions, and Storage.
### How It Works Under The Hood
Supabase isn't just a single monolith; it's a meticulously orchestrated suite of open-source tools centered around PostgreSQL.
- **PostgREST**: Automatically turns the PostgreSQL database into a RESTful API. No backend code required.
- **Realtime**: An Elixir server that listens to PostgreSQL's logical replication stream and broadcasts updates via WebSockets.
