I'm working on a small personal project and considering Supabase to manage my database, which will include products, images, and receipts. Is Supabase the right choice for this type of project?

I've been using Supabase for my personal projects, and I find it super user-friendly. Their free tier is quite generous, and it includes features like authentication and storage for images and receipts. However, I did notice some limitations when it comes to making complex queries with their JS SDK. It feels a bit odd to run SQL queries in the front-end code, but that might just be my bias! Overall, it's a solid choice depending on your needs.
Once you get past the hurdles, you can do lots of joins with supabase-js. It’s not too hard once you get the hang of it!
I've used Supabase for a bunch of small projects, and it's worked really well, especially with their free tier. It allows you to use their abstractions for things like authentication, or just stick with it as a standard PostgreSQL database, which is nice. I haven't tested their image hosting compared to something like S3 though.
Nice! I used Google Cloudinary, and it worked great for my project.
For complex queries, the pro version might handle it better.
