### Welcome to the Future of Databases
Supabase gives you a full Postgres database with a magic API layer on top.
### Steps to Setup
1. Head over to [supabase.com](https://supabase.com).
2. Click **Start your project**.
3. Authenticate with your GitHub account.
4. Create a new Organization and a new Project. Choose a region close to your users to minimize latency.
5. Save your database password securely. You won't be able to see it again!
Once the database is provisioned (takes about 2 minutes), you can find your `Project URL` and `anon public` API key in the settings. You'll need these to connect your app.

Can I use SQLAlchemy with Supabase?
Jun 15, 2026
This is a lifesaver. Postgres always intimidated me but the UI here looks clean.

Great question. Yes, Supabase is just standard PostgreSQL under the hood, so SQLAlchemy connects to it perfectly using the connection string.
