On October 2, 2026, Supabase, the open-source Postgres platform, announced a $150 million round led by Singapore's GIC, with Alphabet's CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg. It follows a $500 million Series F four months earlier, and reports say part of the new money will provide liquidity to employees. No valuation for this round was reported.
Alongside the round:
- Turso acquisition: Supabase agreed to buy Turso, which builds a SQLite-based database designed for very large numbers of small, isolated databases. Terms were not disclosed. Turso founder Glauber Costa becomes Supabase's head of agentic services, co-founder Pekka Enberg and the team join, and Citybiz reports the Turso platform will keep operating.
- Supabase Compute: a new service described as hosted sandboxes for long-running AI agents. Detailed specifications and pricing were not in the coverage we reviewed.
What developers are building. The figure that explains the deal is usage. Supabase says it now adds more than 1 million users and 4 million databases a month, and that about 70% of new databases are created by agents or AI-driven tools. That matches what app-builder and coding-agent workflows look like in practice: an agent scaffolds an app, provisions a database for it, and often spins up more for branches, tests or individual users. Most of those databases are small and short-lived. Turso's design -- cheap, isolated databases that do not each need a dedicated machine -- fits that pattern better than one Postgres instance per project.
"The past year has been the fastest growth in our history by a wide margin. The future is agents," CEO Paul Copplestone said, as quoted by Citybiz.
Analysis: the buyer of developer infrastructure is changing. When agents create most new databases, the product has to be cheap to create, safe to create by mistake, and easy to clean up -- properties a human developer rarely tested. The open questions are cost and control. Teams letting agents provision resources will need quotas, ownership tags and automatic expiry, or they will pay for thousands of forgotten databases. And Supabase now has to run two database engines, Postgres and SQLite, under one product without confusing the developers who chose it for Postgres.
Supabase's $150M raise, Turso acquisition and new agent sandboxes rest on one statistic -- agents now create about 70% of its new databases -- which pushes developer infrastructure toward cheap, isolated, disposable resources and makes quotas and cleanup a first-class concern.
