To integrate a Supabase backend, you might consider using the Swift on Server ecosystem, which was discussed in the session titled "Explore the Swift on Server ecosystem" at WWDC 2024. This session covers how to connect to databases using Postgres Neo, an open-source database driver for Postgres maintained by Vapor and Apple. While Supabase is not directly mentioned, it is built on Postgres, so the techniques discussed could be applicable.

Here's a brief overview of the steps you might take, based on the session:

  1. Add Dependency: Start by adding a dependency to Postgres Neo in your package manifest. This will allow you to use the Postgres client to interact with your database.

  2. Import and Setup: Import Postgres Neo in your service and set up a Postgres client. This client provides an asynchronous interface and a built-in connection pool, which can help manage connections efficiently.

  3. Query the Database: Use the Postgres client to query your database. You can replace hardcoded data with dynamic queries to fetch or insert data into your database.

  4. Concurrency: Use structured concurrency to run your application and database client concurrently, ensuring that your service remains responsive.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Explore the Swift on Server ecosystem (05:42) which covers database drivers and how to connect to a Postgres database.

If you are interested in using SwiftData with a custom backend, the session "Create a custom data store with SwiftData" might be relevant. It discusses how to use SwiftData with any persistence backend, which could potentially include Supabase if you implement the necessary protocols.
