Next.js & Supabase Developer in Madagascar

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. The official Next.js Showcase lists products like TikTok, Notion, Twitch and Hulu built with this framework. Average PageSpeed score on my projects: 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, with 70,000+ stars on GitHub. The official documentation remains my daily reference.

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.

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.

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 €8,000-25,000 with a US/European freelancer starts at €2,000 with me (Starter tier: auth + 1 core feature + dashboard). €4,000 for the Pro tier with Stripe and admin. 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.

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.
