About tinbase
tinbase is a lightweight, developer-focused tool designed to provide a full Supabase-compatible backend experience without the heavy resource overhead of a traditional multi-container Docker stack. Instead of managing a complex setup of numerous containers, tinbase serves the same core APIs from a single, streamlined process.
Powered by real Postgres 17, tinbase includes support for essential backend features such as Row Level Security (RLS), Auth, Storage, and Realtime. Because it is fully Supabase-compatible, your existing supabase-js client code works completely unchanged. Notably, tinbase is so efficient that the entire backend can even run directly inside a browser tab. Open source under the permissive MIT license, it is built to simplify local development and developer workflows.
Pros of tinbase
- Runs a full Supabase-compatible backend in a single process without Docker
- Powered by real Postgres 17 with RLS, Auth, Storage, and Realtime
- Works seamlessly with existing supabase-js code without changes
- Open source under the MIT license
- Lightweight enough to run the entire backend inside a browser tab
Cons of tinbase
- Docker-free local alternative may require testing edge cases against hosted production Supabase environments
- Niche tool tailored specifically for developers seeking lightweight Supabase alternatives
