How to Use Supabase with Unified.to
Blog post from Unified.to
Supabase serves as a powerful tool for querying, analytics, and data integration when used in conjunction with Unified.to, providing a local, queryable mirror of normalized SaaS data in Postgres. The integration supports two main approaches: schema-first, which involves creating Postgres tables that correspond to Unified's data models, and data delivery, which streams normalized updates into those tables. While Supabase acts as a storage and query layer, Unified remains the primary integration layer and source of truth, with data flowing one-way from Unified to Supabase. Supabase facilitates analytics and reporting while maintaining eventual consistency and does not replace Unified's API or webhooks, which are recommended for real-time application logic and write operations. This setup ensures a flexible, scalable, and vendor-neutral system, allowing organizations to leverage both real-time data normalization from Unified and robust querying capabilities from Supabase.
