We've raised $30M and shipped a bunch of features. Let's dive into what's been happening at Supabase during the month of August.
Quick recap#
Watch a recap of this month's release.
We raised $30 million#
Hot off the press, we raised our Series A. We'll use the funds to do more of the same - ship features and hire open source developers. We'll release more details soon. Read more on TechCrunch.
Realtime Security, codename: WALRUS#
If you've been waiting for Row Level Security to land in Postgres subscriptions, then you're going to love our new repo: Write Ahead Log Realtime Unified Security (WALRUS). The name might be a bit forced, but the security design is deliberate. It's not in production yet, but we're making the repo public for comments using an RFC process.
Custom SMS templates#
If you're using SMS login in Auth v2, you can now customize the SMS which is sent to your users. Read more in the docs.
Dart and Flutter Docs#
Thanks entirely to @dshukertjr, we now have in-depth reference Dart documentation for CRUD, Auth, Realtime and more!
We launched the South Korea region#
We added another region for those wanting to host their data and APIs in Seoul. We now have 12 regions to choose from
Table creation is even easier#
You can now create columns while creating your table. We've also added improvements for composite primary keys and foreign key creation.
Unbreakable CSV Imports#
Our previous importer would choke on CSV files which were too large. Not any more!
Connection strings#
We now provide a handy copy utility for various database connection strings because we were so tired of looking them up on Stack Overflow.
We released a primer on Row Level Security#
RLS can be a bit foreign for developers getting started with Postgres. This video by @_dijonmusters demystifies it. If you find the video a useful medium for learning, consider subscribing to our channel.
Community#
We had a community Hackathon#
We held a one-week async Hackathon. Check out all the winners - it was truly impressive what people were able to build in just 7 days.
We had a team Hackathon#
The Supabase team didn't want to miss out on the fun so we held our own hackathon. It was a good way to dog food. Some notable projects include
- Supaflix by @abc3 [GitHub] - a Netflix clone build with Supabase
- Personal-Casts by @everconfusedguy [GitHub] - converts Youtube videos and articles into a personal podcast feed.
- And it wouldn't be a Supabase hackathon without a high-effort meme entry. Check out meme.town by @Joshenlimek [GitHub]
GitHub Trending#
We hit 18,000 stars on GitHub, and got to the top of GitHub trending for Typescript.

Coming Next#
Last December we moved from Alpha to Beta, with a focus on Security, Performance, and Reliability. After a couple of Launch Weeks pushing out new and sexy features, we have decided it's time to focus on these again.
By the time we're done, Supabase will be production-ready for all use cases.
