Running Multiple Supabase Projects on One Instance
If you build multiple applications, managing a separate backend environment for every small project can become complicated. A self-hosted Supabase setup can provide another approach: multiple isolated projects on a dedicated instance.
Why Multiple Projects Help
Imagine you have:
A SaaS application A client dashboard An internal tool A mobile application
Instead of treating every project as an unrelated infrastructure setup, you can organize them within an appropriately sized Supabase environment.
Keep Projects Separate
Isolation is important. Each Supabase project should have its own database, authentication configuration, storage, keys, and application settings. This keeps the data and configuration of one application separate from another.
Choose Resources Carefully
Multiple projects still share the available server resources. If one application becomes much larger than the others, it can consume more CPU, memory, storage, or database capacity. That is why resource planning matters.
A Practical Setup
You could use one instance for several smaller applications and reserve larger resources for production workloads. Monitor usage and resize when your combined workload grows. Hostwares describes its Supabase projects as isolated environments with their own database, Auth, Storage, keys, and subdomain.
For teams managing several smaller products, this can make backend infrastructure easier to organize.
