The Problem
Developers in India are experiencing significant connectivity issues with Supabase due to ISP-level routing problems, particularly with major providers like Jio and Airtel. This has resulted in downtime for applications and websites hosted on Indian Supabase servers. Current solutions, such as using a VPN, are only temporary fixes and do not address the underlying issue, leaving developers frustrated and seeking a more permanent resolution.
Market Context
This pain point highlights the growing reliance on cloud services like Supabase in regions with inconsistent internet service. As more developers in India adopt cloud-based tools, the need for reliable connectivity becomes critical, especially in the context of the accelerating trend towards remote work and digital transformation in the region.
