About this course

The deep-dive that follows Claude Code Fundamentals. Every Supabase capability that matters for vibe-coding — connection pools, advisors, the SQL editor escape hatch, CLAUDE.md patterns that prevent disasters, the Stripe Sync Engine, and how to ship an MVP before your schema implodes.

What you'll learn

Why Supabase beats Neon, Firebase, PlanetScale, Turso for AI-coding workflows

Wire Claude Code to Supabase via MCP + CLI

Write RLS policies that survive a security audit (and the CLAUDE.md patterns that enforce them)

Pick the right connection type — direct vs transaction pooler vs session pooler

The full auth strategy — Google, GitHub, email, phone, anonymous

Storage buckets, Real-time subscriptions, Edge Functions, briefly Vectors

Production-grade: backups, logs, server-side rendering, cron jobs, queues, Stripe Sync Engine

Avoid the "project got too big" trap where Claude spins on huge schemas
