The Challenge#

When developing the platform, Markprompt considered GDPR compliance crucial as it enabled them to handle user data responsibly, maintain data privacy, and foster trust and confidence among their customers. As a result, the choice of a robust vector database and authentication solution became vital in ensuring adherence to GDPR requirements.

Markprompt has successfully indexed over half a million sections of content, with a steady influx of 10,000 - 50,000 new sections daily. This emphasizes the significance of Supabase Vector in terms of reliability and scalability.

We decided to use Supabase over other specialized vector databases because it enabled us to be GDPR compliant from day one with little effort.
