Why teams connect MariaDB and Supabase

Keep MariaDB and Supabase synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between MariaDB and Supabase continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep several MariaDB instances aligned with one system of record across environments
  • 02 Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • 03 Sync application tables in Supabase with the CRM two-way so new signups appear as contacts and sales edits flow back to the app
  • 04 Mirror billing and subscription records into Supabase tables the application can join directly

Common sync patterns

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between MariaDB and Supabase

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

MariaDB objects Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to MariaDB and auth.users to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. System-Versioned Tables is specific to MariaDB and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. JSON Columns is specific to MariaDB and JSONB Columns to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Stored Procedures is specific to MariaDB and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MariaDB and Supabase

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

MariaDB Supabase Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase MariaDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MariaDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.
