One thing that we don’t shout about much at @supabase, but I’m particularly proud of: we have engineered the entire company to be as open source as possible:
1/ we prioritise supporting existing open source projects over building from scratch
2/ we upstream everything we can
3/ we donate to frameworks and projects, and acquire them if they can’t find stability
4/ we prioritise community contributors over building ourselves (and sponsor them for their work)
5/ our code is 100% free and open source (and to back this up: used by behemoths like Alicloud who don’t pay us anything). Essentially every engineer we employ is working on open source products
it has been incredibly difficult to pull this off, striking the balance between commercialization and giving away as much as possible. As we grow bigger I only hope to support more open source communities
