SupaScale Honest Trade-Off Matrix: Managed Supabase Cloud Pro vs Self-Hosted Docker
When Managed Supabase Cloud Pro Beats Self-Hosting — SupaScale Guidance
We recommend staying on Managed Supabase Cloud Pro ($25/mo) when validating a single pre-revenue MVP below 50,000 MAU and 8 GB disk, when your team wants zero Linux SSH or WAL-G backup maintenance, or when enterprise buyers mandate turnkey SOC2 Type II / HIPAA BAA compliance.
When Self-Hosted Docker on KVM/VDS Wins — SupaScale Guidance
Self-hosting via Coolify v4 or Docker Compose on 16 GB KVM 4 and Dedicated VDS cuts monthly spend by 75%–92% once GoTrue passes 100,000 MAU ($0.00325/MAU), PostgreSQL + pgvector HNSW indexes exceed 25 GB, media egress climbs past 250 GB, or you consolidate 3 to 8 isolated client stacks.

Inspect SupaScale Audit: UltaHost VDS vs Firebase Blaze Read Overages →SupaScale Frequently Asked Self-Hosted Supabase Docker Questions
- Why does SupaScale flag 2GB and 4GB cloud VPS tiers as OOM traps for 12-container Supabase Docker?
-
In our deterministic SupaScale container model, three Erlang/BEAM runtimes (Logflare + Vector ~1.52 GB, Realtime ~390 MB, Supavisor ~340 MB) plus Kong Nginx/LuaJIT (~440 MB) and ImgProxy libvips reserve over 3.2 GB before PostgreSQL 15 even allocates shared_buffers. Deploying an 8 GB–16 GB KVM node or unchecking #12 Logflare + Vector prevents Linux oom-killer crashes.
- Does unchecking #12 Logflare + Vector in the SupaScale grid break Supabase Studio or GoTrue Auth?
-
No. Core PostgreSQL 15, GoTrue Auth, PostgREST, Realtime, and Storage operate independently of Logflare. The SupaScale override generator sets profiles: ["disabled"] on analytics/vector and NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_LOGS="false" on Studio, reclaiming ~1.52 GB of idle RAM cleanly.
- How does SupaScale calculate Supabase Cloud Pro $0.00325/MAU and $0.125/GB disk overages?
-
We apply published rates retrieved 2026-11-12 from supabase.com/pricing: $25/mo Pro base (includes 100K MAU and 8 GB DB disk) + Dedicated Compute add-on ($15–$410/mo) + $0.00325 per GoTrue MAU above 100,000 + $0.125/GB disk above 8 GB + $100/mo when 7-day PITR applies.
- When does SupaScale recommend staying on Managed Supabase Cloud Pro instead of self-hosting?
-
We recommend Managed Supabase Pro ($25/mo) for single-environment MVPs under 50,000 MAU and 8 GB database storage, teams without Linux SSH/backup familiarity, or regulatedhealthcare/fintech workloads requiring turnkey SOC2 Type II and HIPAA BAA coverage.
- How should engineers firewall PostgreSQL port 5432 when deploying the SupaScale Compose override?
-
Never bind PostgreSQL 5432 to 0.0.0.0 on a public interface. Keep db inside the private Docker bridge network, route client SDK traffic over TLS 443 to Kong via Coolify/Traefik, and gate Supabase Studio behind Basic Auth or a WireGuard/Tailscale mesh.
