Diabolarius tears out the managed backend and rolls his own

Mike normally leans on Supabase, a hosted service that bundles a database and user login so teams don't have to run their own. In a single large commit, Diabolarius rips it out and replaces it with a self-managed database, containerized so the whole app spins up together, plus hand-built signup, login, and account endpoints. To avoid rewriting everything that talked to the old service, the fork bolts on a custom translation layer that mimics the old one's shape - clever as a one-day move, but bespoke plumbing nobody upstream maintains.

It's a fresh-install-only rebuild with no path off existing deployments, and it ships with a placeholder login secret and a few auth rough edges. Worth a look if you're wary of leaning on a managed vendor - but read the code before trusting it.
