Supabase mistook thousands of new databases per minute for a DDoS — it was Lovable integrating silently

At Craft Ventures' Unprompted conference, Supabase co-founder and CTO Ant Wilson joined Craft partner Michael Robinson to explain how the company is winning the agent era.
- One day Supabase saw thousands of new databases created per minute from a single source and assumed it was a DDoS attack. The real cause: Lovable had integrated Supabase without telling them — vibe coding showing up directly in their metrics.
- Supabase never had an agent strategy deck, team, or launch. Years of building for great engineers meant agents, which want the same things, adopted it organically.
- Key conference thesis: agents are now a real audience for your product, and companies that earn agents' trust already earned the trust of the right people in their market.
