Supabase Migration in Durham

Migrating to Supabase for Durham organisations, where the exit is unusually well defined and worth understanding anyway. The database is ordinary PostgreSQL you can dump and restore anywhere, and the surrounding services are open source — so what you would actually be giving up on leaving is the operating of them rather than access to them.

Why this comes up

The problem

The platform was adopted without anybody establishing what depending on it would mean later.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Database migrated with schema, data and constraints verified against the source
  • Authentication users transferred with credentials where the format allows
  • Storage objects moved with their access rules reproduced as policies
  • Row-level security designed rather than translated from the previous model
  • Application queries rewritten against the client library or direct SQL as appropriate
  • Self-hosting position understood, so the exit is known rather than assumed

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what supabase migration would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Working in Durham

North East

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Supabase Migration in Durham — common questions

How difficult would leaving be?
Easier than most platforms. The database dumps and restores into any Postgres, and the auth, storage and function services are open source and self-hostable — so the dependency is on convenience rather than on something you could not obtain elsewhere.
Does self-hosting mean it is free?
It means the software is available, not that operating it is free. Running the stack yourself involves the database, the services around it, upgrades and backups — real work that the hosted platform is doing, which is what you are actually paying for.
Should security be redesigned rather than ported?
Yes. Access control from another platform expresses a different model, so translating rule by rule produces policies that are hard to reason about — designing them against how your data is actually structured gives a result somebody can review.
What about existing users?
Passwords can often be imported depending on how they were hashed, which avoids asking everybody to reset. Establishing whether that path exists early matters, because forcing a reset across an entire user base loses a measurable proportion of them.
Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
Do you cover the areas around Durham?
Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
