Packaging Supabase with Nix

Nix is a purely functional package manager that treats packages like values in functional programming languages, storing them in the Nix store with unique identifiers capturing all dependencies. This enables powerful features such as dependency isolation, deterministic builds, and efficient caching. The author has successfully integrated Nix into their build pipeline for the Supabase Platform, reducing build times from 40 minutes to under 5 minutes, and plans to leverage its power to bring more robust solutions to their community, including slimmer Docker images, reliable upgrades and migrations, local builds, cross-platform builds, and faster component upgrades.
