Build Firebase-style apps with AI
Orbit maps Firebase-style realtime backends to Supabase — auth, realtime data, storage, and serverless functions with an equivalent developer experience and RLS-based security.
Firebase AI Builder
Ask for Firebase and Orbit provisions the Supabase equivalent: realtime subscriptions, auth with email + OAuth, storage buckets, and edge functions. Your product ships with a scalable Postgres backend instead of a single-provider lock-in.
In plain English
Firebase is a popular all-in-one backend. Orbit builds the same features on Supabase — auth, realtime data, storage — on open Postgres with stronger security defaults.
How it works in Orbit
Firebase-style backends — realtime data, auth, storage, serverless functions — are a common request. Orbit maps that spec to Supabase on open Postgres, delivering the same developer experience with row-level security and no single-provider lock-in.
Realtime, translated
Firebase's realtime updates become Supabase realtime subscriptions. Orbit wires the client so your app's data views refresh when rows change — the behavior users expect, on Postgres.
- Realtime subscriptions wired in
- Optimistic UI updates
- Live presence where needed
Auth with identity providers
Email + password, Google, and other OAuth providers work through Supabase Auth. Orbit configures the provider settings and connects them to your UI's login screens.
- Email + password flows
- OAuth provider setup
- Session handling built in
Storage and functions
File uploads map to Supabase Storage buckets, and server-side logic maps to edge functions. The full Firebase feature set has an open equivalent.
- Storage buckets for uploads
- Edge functions for logic
- Open Postgres under the hood
Spec the realtime app
Describe live data, auth, and files.
Generate on Supabase
Orbit builds the equivalent on open Postgres.
Configure providers
Wire your OAuth and storage settings.
Deploy
Ship the app with secure defaults.
The challenge
Try it yourself
Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.
Build
Try this one elsewhere first.
Build a realtime app on both backends and open the security rules. Compare who ships sensible defaults and who ships "this is fine".
Research
Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.
Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.
Chat
Ask a plain chatbot the same question.
One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.
Image & video
Generate the same image, then edit it.
Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

Supabase AI Builder
Orbit generates fullstack apps with Supabase built in: schema, row-level security, auth, storage, and edge functions provisioned automatically, with the client configured via VITE_SUPABASE_URL and VITE_SUPABASE_SCHEMA.
Appwrite AI Builder
Orbit generates apps with Appwrite-style backend features — auth, databases, storage, functions — on its provisioned Supabase backend, pre-secured with row-level security.
PocketBase AI Builder
Orbit generates apps with PocketBase-style simplicity — instant backend, auth, and file uploads — on Supabase, with RLS and a managed cloud panel instead of self-hosting.
Prisma AI Builder
Orbit turns Prisma-style schema requests into Supabase SQL — the data layer of your app generated as idempotent migrations with RLS policies, instead of an ORM you maintain.
Postgres AI Builder
Orbit generates fullstack apps on Postgres via Supabase — the relational database your spec describes, with RLS, realtime, and the ability to run SQL directly from the panel.
MongoDB AI Builder
Orbit maps MongoDB-style document requests to Postgres — flexible JSONB columns give document-like flexibility with relational integrity and RLS on top.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Orbit use Supabase instead of Firebase?
Supabase gives the same realtime + auth + storage DX on open Postgres, which Orbit can provision, secure, and manage from one panel — including RLS policies and schema migrations.
Which Firebase features map to Supabase?
Firestore collections map to Postgres tables, realtime listeners map to Supabase realtime, and Cloud Functions map to edge functions. Orbit wires all three into the generated app so nothing in your product spec is left out.
Can I keep Firebase's realtime sync behavior?
The realtime feel is preserved: Supabase subscriptions push data changes to the UI instantly, and auth, storage, and serverless functions all have direct Supabase counterparts, so the app behaves the way your Firebase spec described.
