🏗 **How Supabase Became the Essential Infrastructure for the AI Era**

Supabase CEO Paul Copplestone on how the open-source Postgres platform became AI infrastructure — now serving **7-8 million developers**.
• One tagline change ('Open-source Firebase alternative') sent Supabase to #1 on Hacker News — an early product-market-fit signal
• Rode three AI tailwinds in sequence: pgvector/embeddings, then Bolt/Lovable app builders needing backends, now Claude Code/Codex agentic workloads
• Built a product-led sales team comped only on incremental uplift: engaged customers grew usage **125% QoQ vs 25%** for a non-contacted control group
_"We want to build a generational database company"_ — Copplestone on the multi-decade roadmap.
