Keep your users' data in Zambia.
The Data Protection Act says personal data must be processed and stored on a server in Zambia. SuloBase is Supabase on a server in Lusaka, so an app built on Supabase keeps its code when it moves here, and a new one starts here. Billed in Kwacha.
Open now. Pick a plan, pay by mobile money, and your project is running in Lusaka in about a minute. Want to talk first? We'll call you.
The law, and where your data lives
The Act wants it in Zambia. Your project runs in Lusaka.
Section 70 of the Data Protection Act says personal data must be processed and stored on a server in Zambia, and sensitive data, such as health records or a person's sex, always. The duty is the app owner's, not the hosting company's.

General information about the Act, not legal advice.
Why SuloBase is built on Supabase.
Supabase built the platform: Postgres, sign-in, APIs, file storage, realtime and the Studio dashboard. SuloBase runs it on servers in Lusaka, billed in Kwacha, so your developers, their tutorials and their AI tools already know how it works.
The dashboard is Supabase Studio.
If you have used Supabase, you already know where everything is.
What we say, and where to check it.
Each of these has its own page, with the detail behind it.
Isolation, tested on every change.
CI creates two throwaway projects and tries to reach one from the other, with 13 checks.
See the checks →Moving from Supabase is one line.
SuloBase runs the same open-source Supabase stack, so your client library, your queries and your row-level security stay as they are.
See how moving works →You can get your data out.
Export your project from the dashboard whenever you like: free, as often as you want, including if you leave.

Questions people ask.
Does Zambia's Data Protection Act require personal data to be stored in Zambia?
Yes. Section 70(1) of the Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 says a data controller shall process and store personal data on a server or data centre located in Zambia. The Minister may allow some categories of personal data to be stored outside the country (section 70(2)), but sensitive personal data must always be processed and stored in Zambia (section 70(3)).
This is general information about the Act, not legal advice.
Is SuloBase the same as Supabase?
SuloBase runs the open-source Supabase stack: the same Postgres database, sign-in, APIs, file storage, realtime and Studio dashboard, and the same client libraries. It is run by Sulocorp Technologies in Lusaka and is not affiliated with Supabase Inc.
Can I move an existing Supabase or Firebase app?
From Supabase, change one line: the project address your client points at. The database comes across with pg_dump, with your users and their sign-ins. From Firebase, Firestore collections become Postgres tables and your sign-in users are exported and imported; we plan that move with you on a call.
Can I get my data out if I leave?
Yes. Export your project from the dashboard whenever you like, free: your tables, sign-in users and file records as one plain SQL file, and your files as a second archive. It restores into any Postgres, including Supabase's own cloud.
How do I pay?
In Kwacha, monthly, by mobile money (Airtel Money, MTN MoMo or Zamtel Kwacha) or bank transfer. No dollar card needed.
Every new project comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If SuloBase isn’t right for you, write to support@sulobase.com within 30 days and we refund your first payment in full.
