Greater Backend Control + Native Supabase Support for Production SaaS

We’ve been building a production SaaS platform on Base44 and overall the speed of development has been excellent. However, as we move closer to real-world deployment with multiple companies using the system, we’re encountering a few structural limitations that would benefit from deeper backend control.

Key areas where additional functionality would significantly improve the platform:

1. Native Supabase Integration (Highly Needed for SaaS)
For multi-tenant SaaS applications, Supabase provides mature features such as:

• Row Level Security (RLS)

• Auth management

• Database control

• Edge functions

Direct support would allow developers to manage multi-company environments more reliably and securely.

2. Greater Backend Logic Control
Currently many workflows rely on frontend-driven logic. In production SaaS systems we often need:

• Server-side functions

• Custom backend workflows

• Event-based triggers

• Validation that runs independently from the UI

This helps ensure the system behaves correctly regardless of how the frontend is used.

3. Stronger Multi-Tenant Architecture Tools
For SaaS platforms where multiple companies use the same application, developers need clearer control for:

• Company-level data isolation

• Authentication flows for new company owners vs invited team members

• RLS policies tied to company IDs

• Preventing cross-company data visibility

4. Auth Flow Flexibility
Currently sign-up and access request flows are somewhat restrictive. It would help to allow:

• Custom onboarding flows

• Company creation during signup

• Admin approval logic customization

• Better handling of owner vs invited users

Why this matters

Base44 is extremely powerful for rapidly building SaaS products. With stronger backend and database control, it could also support more production-grade, enterprise SaaS systems, especially those using multi-tenant architectures.

Would love to hear how others building SaaS on Base44 are handling these challenges as well.

Thanks to the Base44 team for continuing to improve the platform.
