   Migrating my Expo apps from Supabase to Firebase — what I learned

   A developer shares their experience migrating two Expo apps (TinyRecipe and TinyDebt) from Supabase to Firebase. The migration used @react-native-firebase and worked smoothly with Expo Dev Clients without requiring bare workflow. Key takeaways include Firebase's strengths in real-time updates and offline capabilities, Firestore's responsive queries, and straightforward authentication and analytics setup. The author notes that Supabase excels for SQL-based setups while Firebase shines for real-time features, and emphasizes how Expo's improved native module support made the process easier than expected.

   Sync Stripe data to your Supabase database in one click

   Supabase now offers one-click integration with Stripe Sync Engine, allowing developers to sync Stripe payment data directly into their Postgres database. The integration uses webhooks for real-time updates and scheduled backfills for historical data, enabling SQL queries on customers, subscriptions, invoices, and payments. Unlike the existing Foreign Data Wrapper that makes API calls on demand, the Sync Engine copies data locally for faster queries, complex joins, and analytics without rate limits. The open-source solution uses Supabase Queues for reliable batch processing and includes features like JSONB storage, incremental sync, and multi-account support.
