MANDANext.js & Supabase Developer in Madagascar
Want to launch a SaaS or web application with a solid backend without breaking the budget? Next.js + Supabase is the most efficient stack in 2026 for building scalable products. Based in Antananarivo, I build complete applications — authentication, database, real-time API — at rates 2-3x lower than US/European freelancers.

Why Next.js + Supabase in 2026?
Next.js + Supabase has become the go-to stack for startups and SaaS in 2026. This duo replaces traditional architectures (Express + MongoDB, Django + PostgreSQL) with 3-5x higher productivity.
Next.js provides the frontend and server: server-side rendering (SSR), API Routes, Server Components, automatic image and code optimization. Average PageSpeed score: 98/100.
Supabase provides the complete backend: PostgreSQL database, authentication (email, OAuth, magic links), file storage, REST and real-time API, Edge Functions. It's the open-source Firebase alternative, adopted by over 1 million developers.
Together, they let you launch a functional MVP in 2-4 weeks, with an architecture that scales from 10 to 100,000 users without refactoring.
What Supabase replaces
Firebase — Supabase offers the same features (auth, database, storage, real-time) but with PostgreSQL instead of Firestore. Advantage: standard SQL queries, no vendor lock-in, data exportable at any time.
Custom backend (Express/NestJS) — Supabase auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from your database schema. No need to write hundreds of CRUD routes manually.
Auth0 / Clerk — Supabase authentication is built-in and free: email/password, OAuth (Google, GitHub, Apple), magic links, 2FA. No third-party service to pay for.
AWS S3 — Supabase storage handles uploads, image resizing and access permissions. Simple interface, consistent API with the rest of the stack.

Why hire a Next.js + Supabase developer from Madagascar?
This is my daily stack — every project I've shipped since late 2025 uses Next.js + Supabase. This portfolio, Factumation, the visitor tracking system — all built on this stack.
Proven expertise — 15+ projects delivered with Next.js + Supabase. Row Level Security, migrations, Edge Functions, Realtime — I master every component.
Competitive rates — A SaaS MVP that costs $18,000-30,000 with a US-based freelancer comes to $4,500-12,000 with me. Same code quality, strict TypeScript, complete documentation.
AI-powered development — I use Claude Code daily to write code faster and cleaner. An MVP that used to take 6 weeks ships in 2-3 weeks.
GMT+3 timezone — Real-time collaboration with Europe during business hours. Overlaps with US East Coast mornings.
Security and best practices
Row Level Security (RLS) — Every table has PostgreSQL policies ensuring users only access their own data. No authorization vulnerabilities possible.
Strict TypeScript — All code is typed. Errors are caught at compile time, not in production.
Environment variables — API keys and secrets are stored server-side, never exposed to the client.
HTTPS + HSTS — End-to-end encryption. Complete security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy).
Automatic backups — Supabase performs daily database backups. One-click restore.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Next.js + Supabase SaaS cost?
A SaaS MVP with authentication, dashboard and full CRUD starts at $3,500. A complete application with third-party integrations, automations and custom design ranges from $7,000 to $14,000. That's 2-3x less than a developer based in the US or Europe.
Is Supabase reliable for production?
Yes. Supabase hosts over 1 million production projects. Infrastructure runs on AWS with a 99.9% SLA. Backups are automatic and restoration is one-click. It's standard PostgreSQL — the world's most reliable database.
Can you migrate from Firebase to Supabase?
Yes. I handle Firebase → Supabase migrations: exporting Firestore data to PostgreSQL, migrating authentication, and adapting frontend code. The process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on complexity.
Is Supabase free?
Supabase offers a generous free tier: 500 MB database, 1 GB storage, 50,000 monthly active users and 2 million Edge Function invocations. For most MVPs and small SaaS products, the free tier is sufficient. Paid plans start at $25/month.
What's the difference with Firebase?
Firebase uses Firestore (NoSQL) while Supabase uses PostgreSQL (relational SQL). PostgreSQL enables complex queries (JOINs, aggregations) impossible on Firestore. Supabase is open-source — your data is never locked to a vendor. And authentication is included for free without limits.
Do you offer maintenance after delivery?
Yes. 30 days of technical support are included after each delivery. I also offer monthly maintenance contracts for updates, bug fixes and new features.
