What problem does it solve?

This guide helps Flutter developers securely design and implement data access patterns for Supabase Postgres, balancing direct client calls with backend proxy strategies to protect secrets and enforce access rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Direct Client Access (Preferred): Call Supabase PostgREST API directly for reads with real-time subscriptions where latency matters.
• Backend Proxy (When Needed): Route privileged operations through backend workers or edge functions for service keys, complex logic, and rate limiting.
• Security with RLS & JWT: Enable Row Level Security policies and use JWT-based authentication to enforce access controls in the database.
• Use Case: A Flutter app displays user profiles and live chat, ensuring secure data access and timely updates without exposing credentials.

Quick Start

Start by wiring your Flutter app to the Supabase client and testing a real-time data subscription.
