Here are the top 10 launches from the past week.
It was very hard to rank them, they’re all #1s in my book, so I may or may not have enlisted AI to rank them for me. Speaking of AI, make sure to check out #5 and #10.
#1: Deploy Edge Functions from Dashboard
You can now create, test, edit, and deploy Edge Functions directly from the Supabase Dashboard without having to spin up the CLI and Docker. We’ve also included templates for common use cases like uploading files to Supabase Storage, OpenAI proxying, and Stripe WebHooks.
#2: Realtime Broadcast from Database Scales Database Changes
We’re extended Realtime Broadcast to enable sending messages from database triggers to give you better control over the database change payload while making sure that the workflow is secure and scalable.
#3: Route Data API Requests to the Nearest Read Replica
You can now route your Data API (PostgREST) requests to the nearest Read Replica to minimize network latency. This is only available today on experimental routing but we expect to make it the default in the coming days.
#4: Introducing the Supabase UI Library
Building in a weekend becomes much easier with our official UI Library - a collection of ready-to-use components built on top of shadcn/ui and integrated with Supabase products like Auth, Storage, and Realtime.
#5: Official MCP Server
We’re launching an official MCP server so you can connect your favorite AI tools, like Claude and Cursor, with Supabase and perform tasks such as creating projects, fetching project configuration, querying data using SQL queries, and so much more.
#6: Declarative Schemas for Simpler Database Management
We’re simplifying database management with declarative schemas - version-controlled, source of truth for your database structure in the form of .sql files. This reduces errors, maintains consistency across environments, and increases development velocity.
#7: Bringing Clerk Auth to Supabase
We’ve been working with the Clerk team to make Clerk a Supabase Third-party Auth integration. This means that users can seamlessly connect Clerk and interact with Supabase and its Data API, Storage, Realtime and Edge Functions services without having to migrate auth providers.
#8: Postgres Language Server
Supabase contributors psteinroe and juleswritescode have officially launched a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for Postgres to make SQL tooling more reliable and easier to use. The initial release includes autocompletion, syntax error highlighting, type-checking, and a linter and it’s available today as a VSCode extension and npm package.
#9: Dedicated Poolers
We’re launching a Postgres connection pooler that’s co-located with your database via pgBouncer for better performance and reliability. This is only available on paid plans and gives you three options to connect to your database: direct connections, shared pooler via Supavisor, and dedicated pooler via pgBouncer.
#10: We Invite AI Builders to Partner With Us
Supabase has become the default backend for AI Builders like Lovable, Bolt, and Tempo, and with good reason. We are easy to integrate with, we have all the primitives to build full-stack apps, and we can scale when those apps take off.
We invite more AI Builders to come and integrate with us so their users can build in a weekend and scale to millions.
Hackathon Ends April 6
Make sure you get your submissions in for the hackathon by April 6 at 11:59 PM PT. You can read the announcement here.
