Code-Vergleich

typescript

import { getAuth, signInWithPopup, GoogleAuthProvider } from 'firebase/auth';

const auth = getAuth();
const provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();

const result = await signInWithPopup(auth, provider);
const user = result.user;

Firebase Auth has mature, well-tested SDKs.

typescript

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

const supabase = createClient(url, anonKey);

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
  provider: 'google',
});

// User can immediately query RLS-protected tables

Supabase Auth integrates seamlessly with RLS.

🔄 Migrationshinweise

Migration between BaaS platforms is significant. Export user data carefully. Consider the database migration as the larger effort - auth is just one piece.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Can I self-host either? ▼

Supabase can be self-hosted entirely. Firebase Auth is Google-hosted only, though you can use Firebase Emulators for local development.

Which integrates better with their database? ▼

Supabase Auth has deeper Postgres integration with Row Level Security. Firebase Auth integrates well with Firestore but RLS-equivalent requires Security Rules.
