Ask HN: FastAPI + Supabase = Overkill?
So I have my API built with FastAPI on top of PostgreSQL. Everything except auth is ready. I love FastAPI, but I miss a killer feature from Django: the admin panel over my data. I saw a few options for FastAPI like SQLAdmin, but I’ve never tried Supabase (or Directus). They seem to have feature-rich admin dashboards and built-in auth systems. Would it be a good idea to use Supabase as an admin panel for my project while keeping everything else in FastAPI as it is? Can I use my existing database with Supabase without breaking everything? Also, is it possible to integrate their auth system with FastAPI endpoints? Or will it end up being a mess? Maybe there are other options?
