One of the most important features of Firebase is auto-scaling with pretty much no effort on our part. I'm wondering how easy it'll be to achieve scalability when we self-host Supabase. Is there a recommended/planned strategy for easy, horizontal scaling? |

Hey @yekta, thanks for dropping in. We are testing a lot of different options, and we will open source it when we finally settle on the best option. We are starting with our hosted platform to solve scalability and performance (and of course, usability). Scalability is quite difficult with databases since they are stateful, but there are some promising open source "Postgres Operators" that we will be testing out. |

Hi, we have a self hosting guide here. It is a docker-compose file and scaling docker containers is hopefully not an issue. Let me know if you would like to see any more docs around this. We don't have a good solution yet for scaling postgres horizontally, even in the hosted version, but we are working on that. |

It's Postgres... Sorry to put it this way but it's only as scalable as your wallet. |
