Common signs: outgrowing Supabase plans, data residency needs or wanting full control. Usual causes: growth and compliance. What we do: migrate schema, data, auth and storage to managed or self-hosted PostgreSQL. What you get: a working migration with minimal downtime.
Our Supabase to PostgreSQL migration moves your database, and where needed your auth and file storage, from Supabase to PostgreSQL you control, such as Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL or a Hetzner server. Supabase runs on PostgreSQL, so queries mostly stay the same; the work is in data, auth, storage, policies and app changes. Fixed price from $599 with 3-day delivery.

What Does Migrating From Supabase Involve?
Supabase is built on PostgreSQL, so your tables, data and SQL move across directly. The extra work is replacing what Supabase adds on top: authentication, file storage, auto-generated APIs, realtime and edge functions. A migration plans each of these, moves the data and updates the app to use the new setup.
If you mainly want more control or lower cost, self-hosting Supabase itself is another option, and keeps the same APIs.
Signs You Might Migrate
You need data in a specific region or on your own servers
Costs on paid plans are rising
You need PostgreSQL extensions or settings Supabase doesn't allow
A client requires their own database server
You're consolidating infrastructure on one cloud
What Makes Migrations Tricky
Auth users
Password hashes and sessions must move or be reset.
Storage files
Files and their access rules move separately.
Supabase APIs
Apps calling the Supabase client need a replacement API.
RLS and functions
Policies and functions depend on Supabase roles.
Quick Checks You Can Try First
List which Supabase features you use: auth, storage, realtime, edge functions.
Check your database size.
Export the schema with pg_dump to see what's custom.
Decide whether you need to move auth too.
If the problem remains, our engineers take it from there.
How We Migrate
Assess. We map every Supabase feature you use.
Plan. We choose the target and replacements for auth, storage and APIs.
Prepare. We set up the target database and copy the schema.
Migrate data. We copy data and verify counts and checksums.
Update the app. We switch the app to the new database and services.
Cut over. Final sync, switch and rollback plan.
What You Get
PostgreSQL set up on your chosen host
Schema, data and functions migrated
Auth and storage migrated or replaced
App updated and tested
Cutover and rollback plan
Example result (illustrative)
A SaaS company needed its database on its own AWS account for a client contract. We moved the data to Amazon RDS, kept Supabase Auth temporarily, then migrated users to a self-hosted auth service. The cutover took 12 minutes, with verified row counts on every table.
What Is Included and Not Included
Included | Not included |
|---|---|
One project's database, auth and storage | Rebuilding app features |
Data verification and cutover | Target hosting costs |
App changes for the new setup | Very large databases (priced by size) |
One revision round | Ongoing database management |

Who This Is For
Startups outgrowing Supabase plans
Companies with data residency rules
Platforms deploying per-client databases
Teams consolidating on AWS, Google Cloud or Hetzner
What We Need From You
Supabase project access
Target hosting account
Repository access
A cutover time window
Code and data privacy
We sign an NDA on request, work with the least access needed, and never keep copies of your data after delivery. You own all code, configuration and notes.
Key Terms Explained
pg_dump: PostgreSQL's export tool
Cutover: switching the app to the new database
Checksum: a value used to verify data copied correctly
Self-hosted Supabase: running the Supabase stack on your own servers
Common Mistakes We Avoid
Forgetting auth users and storage files
No final data sync before cutover
Skipping data verification
Migrating without a rollback plan

Frequently Asked Questions
Is migrating from Supabase hard?
The database part is straightforward because it's PostgreSQL. Auth, storage and app code take most of the effort.
Can users keep their passwords?
Often yes, by moving password hashes to a compatible auth system.
Should we self-host Supabase instead?
If you like Supabase's APIs and want control or lower cost, self-hosting can be simpler than a full migration.
How much downtime?
Usually minutes, during a final sync and switch.
