Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Redis Cache

A super-fast in-memory store that sits between your app and the database. Instead of querying Postgres every time, cache the result in Redis and get it back 10–100x faster. Also handles sessions, rate limit counters, and pub/sub messaging.

SET user:123 '{"name":"John","plan":"pro"}' EX 3600
GET user:123  →  instant, no database hit

Supabase doesn't offer any caching layer. Every API call hits the database directly.

Rate Limiting

Built into Kong, already configured. If someone (or a bot) hammers your API, they get blocked automatically. Per-endpoint, per-IP — zero setup from you. Auth: 30 req/min, REST API: 100 req/min, Storage: 60 req/min.

HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
{"message": "Rate limit exceeded. Try again in 42 seconds."}

Supabase has no built-in rate limiting. You'd have to add Cloudflare or build your own.

Message Queues (pgmq)

A production-grade task queue running inside Postgres. Don't make users wait for slow operations — queue them. Send emails in the background, process image uploads after they complete, retry failed webhooks automatically. Supports delayed jobs, retries, and dead-letter queues.

SELECT pgmq.create('email_queue');
SELECT pgmq.send('email_queue',
  '{"to":"user@example.com","template":"welcome"}'::jsonb
);
-- Worker picks it up and sends it. User didn't wait.

Supabase has no built-in queue. Developers hack together solutions with pg_cron + Edge Functions.

Scheduled Jobs (pg_cron)

An alarm clock for your database. Clean up expired data every night, generate reports every Monday, check for failed payments every hour. Standard cron syntax, runs SQL directly in Postgres — no external scheduler needed.

SELECT cron.schedule('cleanup', '0 4 * * *',
  $$DELETE FROM logs WHERE created_at < now() - interval '30 days'$$
);

Analytics (Umami)

Privacy-friendly web analytics included on every plan. Track page views, events, and user journeys without cookies, without consent banners, fully GDPR-compliant. Each client gets their own dashboard — no data shared between clients.

<script async src="https://umami.omnibase.live/script.js"
  data-website-id="your-site-id"></script>

Supabase doesn't offer analytics. You'd need Google Analytics or a paid third-party service.

Status Page (Uptime Kuma)

A public status page your users can check when something feels slow. Shows real-time status of your API, auth, storage, and database. Alerts you via Telegram, email, or Slack when something goes down — before your users notice.

Supabase doesn't offer per-project status pages.

Daily Backups

Automated every night at 4am. Full database dump, compressed, uploaded to geo-replicated storage (Frankfurt + London). 7 to 30-day retention depending on plan. One-click restore when you need it. No setup, no cron jobs to write.

Supabase charges $25/month extra for daily backups. On omnibase, they're included on every plan.

n8n Workflow Automation

Visual automation builder with 400+ integrations. Connect your database to Slack, email, Stripe, GitHub, Google Sheets — anything. Trigger workflows on database changes, schedule them, or fire them from webhooks. Like Zapier ($20+/mo) but self-hosted and included with Pro.

Not available on Supabase. $10/mo add-on on Starter/Flex, included with Pro.

Auto-generated API Docs

Swagger UI automatically generated from your database schema. Every table, every column, every endpoint — documented and testable from the browser. Updates whenever your schema changes.

Edge Caching with Smart Invalidation

Frequently-read data gets cached at Bunny CDN's 120+ edge locations worldwide. When the data changes in Postgres, a trigger automatically purges the CDN cache — so your users always see fresh data, served from the nearest edge server. Zero config.

Not available on Supabase.

AI Gateway

Proxy for OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek APIs with built-in Redis caching and per-client cost tracking. Route AI calls through omnibase to cache repeated requests, track spend per model, and enforce rate limits — all without changing your API calls.

Not available on Supabase.
