What would you say they offer then if not serverless Postgres?
You set up a database, you connect to it, they take care of the rest. It even scales to $0 if you don't use it.

Is that not serverless Postgres?
Supabase gives you a server that runs classic Postgres in a process. Scaling in this scenario means you increase your server's capacity, with a potential downtime while the upgrade is happening.
You are confusing _managed_ Postgres for _serverless_.
Others in the serverless Postgres space:
- https://www.orioledb.com/ (pg extension)
- https://www.thenile.dev/ (pg "distribution")
- https://www.yugabyte.com/ (not emphasizing serverless but their architecture would allow for it)
How is what Supabase offers different from what Neon offers from a user perspective?
