Why Supabase for this
We build with the state management your team can maintain. The community argues about this endlessly; the right answer is the one your developers will still understand in a year.
Supabase is strongest at production-grade auth and RLS without building them, on standard Postgres you can leave. For flutter app development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: opinionated in ways that occasionally fight a complex custom auth model. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions
Flutter or React Native?
Flutter for heavy custom UI and pixel-identical design across platforms. React Native if your team already writes TypeScript or you share code with a web app. Both are production-credible, the deciding factor is usually your team, not the framework.
Is Flutter production-ready?
Yes, and has been for years. It runs serious apps at scale. The considerations are hiring and platform-channel work, not maturity.
Can Flutter build our web app too?
Technically yes, and we would usually advise against it. Flutter web produces heavy bundles and unusual SEO behaviour; a proper web front end serves that job better.
Alternatives for flutter app development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
