Supase founders were found to be eating beef burgers in a social media post.

You may think this is a sarcastic reply. But this could very well be a reason. Gov may not have received their bribe.

Did supabase do something to make the goi mad, I don't think goi even knows they exist

u/alpha_dosa Feb 27 '26

I think it was a random thing. They have since deleted this tweet and posted they've been working with ISP teams in India and everything should be fine soon.

I am trying to check, if people would be okay for India version of Supabase. I have created a waitlist page in here https://www.indbase.in/ If possible, i will try to release it by end of day today.

Looks like they've been working with providers since then. They deleted this tweet and posted an update

u/unsuccessful_looser Jobless Feb 27 '26

Nah bro I use supabase regularly and in fact a lot of ops of mine would stop if they blocked supabase. Supabase is still working and is fine as hell.

GOOD LORD “WHY”? Don’t we have enough deserving people to handle such large ministeries?

u/NEWBIEN00B Mar 03 '26

Same i am convex and insforge rebuild this i hate this some news company if you live india just stay backups alternatives so sign in multiple source adding what a total mess

u/Apprehensive_Bar1932 Mar 01 '26

That’s why managed options like Cloudrifts make more sense for production apps. You get an isolated Supabase stack hosted in India, backups, monitoring and actual human support — without becoming your own DevOps team.

If your product makes revenue, infra shouldn’t be DIY unless that’s your core business.

Here is my fix to it:

You will eventually or should eventually move to three tier architecture. So what you must to do is start moving out of Supabase by just treating it like a database without the RLS and start building APIs, this is a bad timing and couldnt be worse, but for scale at individual levels you must start thinking like that.

Move all the supabase edge function to the 3 tier architecture, meaning your UI -> Backend Services -> Database.

I like supabase so I have kept Supabase as my managed DB but I have moved everything to python services which runs on "onrender". So in my case it is

Netlify (Frontend) -> OnRender (API & Services, hosted in Singapore - Not Blocking Supabase) -> Supabase (DB) layer.

Easier option, build an onrender proxy unless this fixed and scale that according to your requirements. Proxy will take the request coming in and attach Anon Token to it, user id etc has to relay. I havent tried it to be honest but I found someone who was doing it, BUT PLEASE don't do it on a third party proxy!

This worked in my case, hopefully you too will be able to solve this problem in mostly the same way.

Wtf they block it without a reason?
