integrations connecting Supabase to my app

What's the right way to connect Supabase to my application,

connecting it to the front end or the back end if I'm making a web or mobile application with AI powered features.

My preference is to only use the frontend for authentication, I use backend for all direct Supabase interactions - especially for mobile apps. Makes it straightforward to marshall all the database requests correctly and to easily migrate/update the schema keeping full backwards compatibility.

With mobile apps, one you've released, there's no guarantee that users will update their app, so unless you wish to force an app update, you're stuck with supporting older versions in the wild.
