Webhook Based Event Streaming For Request Lifecycle

via “database webhooks triggering external http callbacks”

Open-source Firebase alternative — Postgres + pgvector, auth, storage, edge functions, real-time.

Unique: Implements webhooks as a first-class Supabase feature with table-level configuration and column-level filtering, integrated directly into the database layer rather than requiring separate event streaming infrastructure, enabling event-driven architectures without message queues or CDC (Change Data Capture) tools

vs others: Simpler than Kafka or RabbitMQ for simple event-driven workflows because webhooks are configured in the UI without infrastructure setup, though less reliable for high-volume or critical events because delivery guarantees are not documented and retry logic is opaque
