Q: Supabase integration / CPU minutes / Self Host
Do you have a native Supabase integration, or are you planning to create one, like Frontly.ai?
Or how easy/difficult would it be to connect Supabase using the existing method as a backend database?
Also, what do CPU minutes mean? Can you compare them to Bubble.io's workload units or at least specify what type of CPU is being used? If I have an app with 500 users who each spend 30–60 minutes daily querying databases, changing pages, and pressing buttons that send data, would the 5,000 CPU minutes per month be enough?
Since this is the main pricing factor, I’d love to understand how scalable an application is with 5,000 of your CPU minutes.
I found some info about Self-Host the application is this also possible for LTD users would this CPU minitues limitation limitation then be replaced with our own servers?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Feb 25, 2025A: SUPABASE INTEGRATION AND CPU MINUTES
Thank you Lelias for your thoughtful questions and positive first impression! We’re excited to help you explore NoCode-X and its capabilities.
SUPABASE INTEGRATION
Great news! A native integration for Supabase was built just last week, so you’re all set to use it seamlessly. If you ever find an integration missing, you can always rely on the generic API-integration component, which you’ll find in the Actions section. This makes connecting to Supabase or any other backend database straightforward and flexible. You’re ready to fly!
UNDERSTANDING CPU MINUTES
CPU minutes in NoCode-X refer to the actual processing time consumed by your application on the server. It’s important to note that 1 hour of user access does not equate to 60 CPU minutes. The actual CPU usage depends on the complexity of the queries, transformations, and actions performed.
To give you an idea, we benchmarked with 1,000 CPU minutes and achieved 100,000 page calls. For your scenario of 500 users spending 30–60 minutes daily querying databases and interacting with the app, 5,000 CPU minutes should be sufficient in most cases. However, this depends on the size and complexity of your queries and logic.
SCALABILITY AND OPTIMIZATION
For production environments, NoCode-X applies optimizations to ensure efficient resource usage and faster customer experiences. If you’re benchmarking, make sure to do so in the production environment for accurate insights.
The scalability of your application also depends on its architecture and functionalities. For example, a web scraper may consume more CPU and bandwidth, while API integrations for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication are typically bandwidth and CPU-intensive. As a reference, a municipality with 25,000 citizens successfully operates with 4 cores (equivalent to 4,000 CPU minutes).
COMPETITIVE PRICING AND FEATURES
NoCode-X offers highly competitive pricing compared to other platforms. Unlike many competitors, all functional features—often locked behind enterprise tiers—are included in every plan. Additionally, the platform unburdens you with built-in security, AI-assisted development, and easy integrations, enabling you to deliver value faster and focus on growing your business.

v.l.eliascan Appsumo licenses also Self-Host the application is this also possible for LTD users would this CPU minitues limitation limitation then be replaced with our own servers?
If not what is the price to self host?
Well good question.
The AppSummo is for the Saas-offering.
As we are community driven bubsiness, we are sourcing to our customers what would be a good licensing model. Please join the discussion on Discord to brainstorm on what would be a good balanced approach.
