Postgres, auth, and edge functions in one stack—coming soon.
Coming soon
This entry is queued for a full scored review—the same four-dimension rubric as every other playbook tool.
What the write-up will cover: Postgres as the default backend for vibe-coded stacks, auth and row-level security without rolling your own, edge functions next to Inngest-style orchestration, and what ownership looks like once you are past the free tier.
Related (live): Postmark — mail from Supabase Edge functions, Inngest jobs, webhooks, and engagement analytics.

After the 30-Minute Rule says yes, I wire the MCP into Cursor and run four prompts—stack compare, backlog impact, time-to-market, and revenue wild card—without falling back into build mode.

Stephan's MCP workbench
Late convert to MCPs. Two jobs: deeper context when building features, and digging through logs when production sticks. My Cursor stack and what each connection is for.

Pinecone
Pinecone is the granddaddy vector database for AI—but for most founders the win is Pinecone Assistant: drop docs in, chat, understand Euclidean distance without the algebra lecture. Battle-test Postgres or Mongo vector before you add the line item.

Postmark
Postmark is the focused mail operator for vibe-coded stacks: MCP-ready, Supabase-friendly, ~80% feature utilization—and depth of value that stays swappable because it is a mail server, not your whole product.
