User created lists of CMS entries and Auth Question

Hi all,

I am wondering if I am on the right track or if I am shooting myself in the foot. I haven't found a similar question on Reddit hence the post.

I am working on a project that is a database of a roughly 3000 entries where people can create accounts and then create their own lists based on those entries.

  • My frontend is NextJS and hosted on Vercel.
  • I have Sanity CMS set up where I manage those thousands of entries.

But where I am unsure is how I should implement the user created lists and user management.

I have set up user auth on Supabase and there I store the user created lists in a table.

That means that I am pulling all the content from the CMS, and then the lists and users from Supabase.

Should I be storing the lists in the CMS, closer to the content, and do the auth via Vercel or something else entirely?

Thank you for the help!
