Can Supabase Extension for VS Code work with Supabase Cloud?

[joewinke]

I've installed it and it wants me to run supabase start - but so far I have done everything via the cloud. Is it necessary? When I ran supabase start before it felt like it was creating another version that would 'compete' with the cloud. Do I have that right or do I need to run local to use the extension?

Currently the extension relies on the supabase stack running locally. But we're planning to integrate it with the management API so you can log in with your Supabase account. You can follow along here: https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-vscode-extension/issues/9
