Clerk is a developer-first authentication and user management solution. It provides pre-built React components and hooks for sign-in, sign-up, user profile, and organization management. Clerk is designed to be easy to use and customize, and can be dropped into any React or Next.js application.
Supabase is an open-source, dedicated PostgreSQL database, trusted by millions of developers.
Integrating Supabase with Clerk gives you the benefits of using a Supabase database while leveraging Clerk's authentication, prebuilt components, and webhooks. To get the most out of Supabase with Clerk, you must implement custom Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
After following the Clerk + Supabase integration guide, you will have learned how to:
- Enable the Supabase integration on your Clerk instance
- Create RLS policies that restrict access to data based on the user's Clerk ID. This way, users can only access data that belongs to them.
- Configure Clerk as a Supabase third-party auth provider
- Use Clerk JWTs to authenticate Supabase queries in your Next.js app
