Hey everyone,
I’ve been following how modern engineering teams are architecting their internal tools lately, and the combination of Supabase + React-admin is consistently standing out as a high-impact stack.
Our friends at 9thCO Inc. recently shared how to leverage this to deliver full-featured platforms, and it highlights exactly why this pair works so well:
It’s a massive time-saver for building member management platforms, CRMs, or any data-heavy internal dashboard without reinventing the wheel.
I’m curious to get the community's take: For those of you building internal tools or admin panels on Supabase, are you sticking with custom React/Next.js views, or are you using a framework like React-admin to handle the heavy lifting?
(I'll drop the link to the full hands-on guide in the comments for those interested in the implementation details!)
The thread discusses the benefits of using Supabase with React-admin for building internal tools. It highlights the integration's efficiency, security features like Row Level Security, and the ease of frontend development with React-admin. A user expresses concerns about frontend performance, particularly with React applications, and seeks feedback on page load speeds with React-admin.

Did AI write this?
Funny, I was just reviewing the react-admin repo this morning. We have a large internal tool that has been in beta for a couple years that is using Sveltkit and are planning a full rewrite for the final version. As part this, we will also be splitting out the field data capture portion of this into a native mobile app. Where are they exploring the possibility of using React (vanilla with react router, Tanstack, or Next.js) as react native is on the list for the native app.
One thing that concerns me is the snappiness of front end. In our current implementation, with mostly client side databases access (supabase-js), the app is extremely fast. I know from experience react applications, especially in Next.js are noticeably slower.
What can you tell me honestly about your experience with react-admin in regard to page load/hydration speeds?
