Walkthrough · Project build
Add a database with Supabase
Project
Create your free Supabase project. Mostly clicking, and one password to keep safe.
1. Go to supabase.com and click Start your project. Sign in with GitHub, the account you already made. 2. Click New project. If it asks for an organisation first, create one with your name. The free plan is fine. 3. Fill in the form: - Project name: my-project - Database password: click Generate a password, then copy it into a password manager. You will rarely need it, but you cannot see it again. - Region: pick the one closest to the people who will use your site. 4. Click Create new project and wait a minute or two while it sets up.
Stuck? Pick a prompt and ask your AI tool
I am creating a Supabase project for a small website. Where most of my visitors are: [country or city] Where my site is hosted: [Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare] Which Supabase region should I pick, and does it matter much for a small project? Keep it short.
Open it in your AI tool. Clicking copies the prompt, and ChatGPT and Grok open with it already filled in.
