70% of new Supabase activity now comes from AI agents, not human developers.

“I definitely believe that everyone in the world who has access to AI will become a developer of some kind.”

Supabase CEO Paul Copplestone revealed that 70% of new platform activity now originates from AI agents, not human developers, marking a fundamental shift in how backend infrastructure is consumed. The platform grew from 3M to 13M users and from 8M to 50M managed databases in 12 months, with revenue quadrupling — growth he attributes to both professional developers and a new wave of non-engineers building with AI tools. This is a concrete data point that the 'build what agents need' paradigm is already reshaping infrastructure-layer economics at scale.
