Set up serverless user database

[FrancesCoronel]

• Need ability to store user profiles in database
• Also should integrate with login provider we use

Here are some factors to consider when comparing PlanetScale and Supabase:

Feel free to let me know your thoughts, opinions, etc. I can always do more research, of course.

1. Scalability

• Both PlanetScale and Supabase are scalable, but PlanetScale offers a more scalable solution. PlanetScale provides a serverless, horizontally scalable database that can handle large amounts of data and traffic, while Supabase provides a PostgreSQL-based database that can be horizontally scaled.

2. Real-time data

• PlanetScale provides real-time data synchronization, making it easy to build real-time applications that require data synchronization across multiple devices or users. Supabase does not have built-in real-time data synchronization, although it provides features like real-time subscriptions.

3. Cost

• Supabase provides a generous free tier for developers, making it a cost-effective option for small-scale projects. PlanetScale can be more expensive than Supabase, especially for high-traffic applications, which can affect the cost-effectiveness of the project.

4. Learning curve

• Both PlanetScale and Supabase have a learning curve, but Supabase may be easier to learn for developers who are already familiar with PostgreSQL. PlanetScale requires developers to learn new concepts and technologies, such as Vitess and Kubernetes.

5. Integration

• Supabase provides a range of integration options with third-party services, making it easy to integrate with existing tools and technologies. PlanetScale has limited integration options, which may limit its use for some projects.
