Supabase
Supabase is a managed backend platform built on PostgreSQL — with the PostGIS spatial extension, authentication, storage and edge functions. Connecting Supabase gives an application you build a real database of its own.
What it enables in ALIGN
Section titled “What it enables in ALIGN”Connecting your Supabase account unlocks the database capability of the App Builder: from the Data Sources panel you can
- link your Supabase account,
- pick an existing project or create a new database, which deploys a managed Postgres + PostGIS instance for your app,
- and manage the connected project, including its edge functions.
This is the simplest way to give your application a spatial database it can read from and write to. Full details are on the Data and databases page.
How to connect
Section titled “How to connect”Supabase connects through OAuth — there is no key to copy.
- In ALIGN, go to Dashboard → Integrations and click Connect on the Supabase card.
- Authorize ALIGN in the Supabase window that opens (database read/write access).
- Back in an App Builder project, open the Data Sources panel to create or link a project.
Your credentials stay yours
Section titled “Your credentials stay yours”The Supabase connection is stored on your ALIGN account and scoped to what it is for. It is never written into a saved app, an export, or anything you share. Your database and its data remain yours, in standard PostgreSQL — no lock-in.
