In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of using Supabase, an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), with React Native to build a simple Todo app. We'll cover the three essential aspects of Supabase: Authentication, Database, and Functions. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid understanding of how to integrate Supabase into your React Native application.

Using React Native you can build a variety of app screens that are cross-platform using JavaScript as the main programming language. One such app screen feature is uploading photos which is quite a common feature in social media apps. Uploading photos to Firebase Storage is a common practice in React Native apps that have backend integration with Firebase, such as our React Native templates.

The Async Storage is a simple key-value pair based storage system in React Native. It is used for scenarios where you want to save the user’s data on the device itself instead of using any cloud service, such as building offline apps. According to the React Native’s official documentation:

On iOS, AsyncStorage is backed by native code that stores small values in a serialized dictionary and larger values in separate files. On Android, AsyncStorage will use either RocksDB or SQLite based on what is available.

In this tutorial we will build a React Native app that allows users to upload images and videos from their camera and photo library directly into a AWS S3 bucket. As AWS is the leader of cloud providers, a huge part of the React Native ecosystem is using AWS as the backend for their app. With the release of AWS Amplify, using AWS as backend for a React Native app has never been easier to implement.
