Find answers to common questions about suparbase
suparbase is an open-source tool for syncing Supabase databases between environments, managing schema migrations, and preventing free tier databases from pausing due to inactivity. It provides a web interface for database management tasks.
Simply sign up for a free account, add your database connections, and start syncing. No credit card required. Check out our guide page for detailed instructions.
Yes! suparbase is currently in beta testing phase and is completely free to use. We'll notify all users well in advance if we introduce pricing in the future.
suparbase works with any PostgreSQL database, with special optimizations for Supabase. It understands Supabase-specific features like Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
The keep-alive service automatically sends periodic health checks to your Supabase databases to prevent them from pausing due to inactivity. This is especially useful for free tier databases that pause after periods of inactivity.
Yes! suparbase allows you to sync data between any two PostgreSQL databases. It validates schema compatibility before syncing and provides safety checks to prevent accidental data loss.
Schema validation compares the structure of two databases and identifies differences. It categorizes issues by severity (critical, warning, info) and can generate migration scripts to fix schema differences automatically.
All database credentials are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored. We never store your actual database data - only connection information is stored securely.
Yes. suparbase only stores encrypted connection credentials. Your actual database data is never stored on our servers. All data transfers happen directly between your databases.
Yes, but we recommend using it with caution. Always test syncs in development first, use the dry-run feature to preview changes, and ensure you have backups before syncing production data.
Schema sync compares and synchronizes the structure of your databases (tables, columns, indexes, etc.). Data sync transfers actual data rows between databases. Both can be used together or independently.
Migration scripts are automatically generated SQL statements that can fix schema differences between databases. They are designed to be idempotent, meaning they can be run multiple times safely.
Yes, you can select which tables to sync, configure sync schedules, and set up filters. The interface provides options to customize your sync jobs according to your needs.
suparbase creates automatic backup snapshots before every sync operation. If a sync fails mid-way, the system can automatically restore your target database to its pre-sync state. This rollback mechanism ensures data integrity and prevents partial data corruption.
suparbase can sync 3-4 tables concurrently for 2-3x faster performance. Our FK-aware scheduler respects foreign key dependencies, ensuring parent tables are synced before child tables. This means you get the speed of parallel processing without risking referential integrity violations.
Our real-time metrics dashboard provides live throughput graphs, rows/second metrics, table-by-table breakdowns, and distributed tracing. You can monitor every aspect of your sync operations including memory usage, batch times, and error rates.
Rate limiting prevents overwhelming your target database during large syncs. suparbase uses intelligent adaptive throttling that monitors your target database response times and automatically adjusts sync speed to maintain optimal performance without causing slowdowns for your users.
suparbase is currently in beta testing phase and will remain free during this period. We'll provide advance notice before any pricing changes. Beta users will receive special early adopter benefits.
We plan to offer a free tier with essential features and paid plans for advanced usage. All beta users will be notified and may receive special pricing or features as early adopters.
During beta, there are no usage limits. You can create unlimited connections, sync jobs, and use all features without restrictions.
