## I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Docs update — adds a new framework quickstart. ## What is the current behavior? The Framework Quickstarts section under Getting Started covers Next.js, Nuxt, React, Flask, and others, but doesn't include Reflex (https://reflex.dev), an open-source Python web framework that compiles to React. Python developers building full-stack apps with Reflex have to piece together the Supabase setup from the general Python reference rather than following a quickstart. ## What is the new behavior? Adds a Reflex framework quickstart at `apps/docs/content/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/reflex.mdx`, mirroring the structure of the existing Flask quickstart: same DB setup partial (`quickstart_db_setup.mdx`), same env var step using `ProjectConfigVariables`, same six-step `StepHikeCompact` shape. A nav entry is added directly after Flask in `NavigationMenu.constants.ts`, gated on `!jsOnly` to match Flask's pattern. Verified end-to-end against a fresh Supabase project: ran every command in the docs literally, including the full SQL from `quickstart_db_setup.mdx` (with the `grant select on public.instruments to anon` line). The rendered Reflex app shows the Instruments heading with all three seeded rows. No console errors, no event-loop warnings. ## Additional context Conventions used in the quickstart: - Uses `uv` (`uv init`, `uv add`, `uv run`) rather than pip + venv. This follows the broader docs pattern of each quickstart using its framework's idiomatic tooling (Next.js → npx, RedwoodJS → yarn, Laravel → composer, Flutter → pubspec.yaml). It also matches what Reflex's own `reflex init` post-install message recommends. `uv add` produces a `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock` so users can rebuild deterministically with `uv sync`. - The Supabase client is constructed via `acreate_client` with a lazy-init pattern, and the event handler is `async def`. This avoids blocking Reflex's event loop on the HTTP request. In touch with the Supabase team on this — happy to iterate on copy or scope based on review. Pre-flight: ran pnpm run format locally, which passed cleanly. Did not run pnpm run build locally — hit a Windows/CRLF-related TOML parsing failure in an unrelated troubleshooting frontmatter file (apps/docs/content/troubleshooting/all-about-supabase-egress-a_Sg_e.mdx) during page data collection. Relying on Vercel preview to validate the build. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added Reflex (Python) and Spring Boot to the framework quickstarts. * Reorganized quickstart listings for clearer framework navigation and grouping. * **Documentation** * Added a Reflex quickstart guide covering Supabase setup, environment variables, asynchronous data loading, error handling, and running the app. * Added Reflex-specific AI guidance for configuring Supabase projects. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Nik Richers <nik@validmind.ai>

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
- postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
- Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.
Client libraries
Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
