Update to the UI for RLS policies#

We've been looking into improving the UX for the RLS policy UI after going through feedback of the community's struggles with RLS in general, and this is the next step that we're taking to streamline the UX.

What we're calling as a "hybrid" editor (for now), you'll be able to see the corresponding SQL query for creating or updating your RLS policies while you're editing the policy via the input fields. And if you'd like even greater control, there's always the "Open in SQL Editor" button as an escape hatch where you can edit the SQL query in its entirety.

Templates are now right beside the editor as well, so you no longer have to click back and forth between templates and the editor.

We've always seen the dashboard as more than just a database adminstration tool, but also potentially an educational platform for developers to pick up the SQL language as they build out their database, and we hope that the changes here will help make that even easier.

Connection pooler on port 6543 is set to transaction mode permanently#

Previously, connection pooler's port 6543 can be set to either transaction or session mode under your project's database settings. This change makes it easier to distinguish between pooler modes and ports by only enabling transaction mode on port 6543 while maintaining session mode on port 5432.

If your using port 6543 and your project's pooler mode is transaction then you won't be able to set the mode to session. You can use port 5432 for session mode.

If your using port 6543 and your project's pooler mode is session then we strongly advise that you use port 5432 for session mode and change the mode to transaction. Once this setting is saved you won't be able to set session mode on port 6543.

In our previous platform architecture, our Storage, Realtime, and connection pooler (PgBouncer) services were bundled together, with a single instance of each service per project.

For our v2 architecture, we’ve “unbundled” these services, moving to a multi-tenant model, where a single instance of each service serves many projects:

This frees up as much resources as possible for your Postgres databases, while enabling us to offer more resource intensive features for these services, and opens the door to capabilities such as zero-downtime scaling.

With Supavisor replacing PgBouncer, along with some other key optimizations, the final pieces of our v2 architecture are now ready.

Paid plan rollout (completed)#

We’ve already fully rolled out our v2 architecture to paid plan projects. You now have more resources available, for the same price that you’ve been paying.

Free plan gradual rollout (20 March 2024 onwards)#

• 20 March 2024: Newly created or unpaused projects will use v2 architecture
• 28 March 2024: Existing projects will start being migrated to v2 architecture

This will be a gradual rollout - we will email you at least one week before your project is scheduled to be migrated.

Your action for projects scheduled to be migrated#

For newly created or unpaused projects on the Free Plan, no action is required.

For existing projects on the Free Plan, up to a few minutes of downtime is expected for the migration. For each of your projects, we’ll identify the 30-minute maintenance window where your project had the least database queries over the previous 10 weeks.

You have two choices:

• Automatic Migration: If you don't take any action, we plan to do the migration automatically during that maintenance window with the least historical activity.
• Manual Migration: Any time before that, you can go to Project Settings > General to see whether/when the maintenance window is scheduled (timings will also be included in the email). There, you may choose to manually restart the project yourself, at a time that is convenient for you. Your project will be restarted on v2 architecture.

Conversational AI assistant now available as part of the SQL Editor#

As part of our ongoing efforts to introduce the AI assistant across the dashboard, we're bringing the AI assistant to the SQL Editor next! Some of you might have already been using the AI assistant in the SQL Editor through the green bar at the top of the editor - we're sprucing it up by extending it further to a conversational UX. Go back and forth with the assistant and apply the code snippets that you deem to be the most appropriate!

This is currently under a feature preview - you may enable this feature by clicking on the user icon while in a project at the bottom of the side navigation bar and selecting "Feature previews". From there just enable the preview under "SQL Editor Conversational Assistant". And as always, we're incredibly open to any feedback for this, so give us a shout right here!

Templates added to new RLS assistant#

If you're not aware yet, we previously created a new RLS UI that comes integrated with the Supabase Assistant to (hopefully) help everyone write RLS policies easier and faster. This is currently still a feature preview which you can enable by clicking on your user profile at the bottom of the side navigation bar. We're continuously trying to see how we can improve this to make it a much better UX than the current existing RLS policy user flow.

The first gap that we're trying to address is the ease of referencing existing templates that just work out of the box from the current RLS policy flow - those proved to be really useful when trying to understand the syntax of writing policies, and so we added that in to the new RLS UI. Not just that but we also added more complex templates that work better in the new UI than the current one!

The next item that we're looking into is to see what minimal guard rails we can add to make writing RLS policies even less intimidating since the new UI expects only SQL input. One of the aims of the dashboard is to guide our users to not be afraid of SQL no matter the level of proficiency and we hope that we'll be able to cook up the ideal UX that will allow everyone to write SQL with confidence.

https://github.com/supabase/supabase/assets/8291514/070cb030-d249-404d-82cd-3ba92d9309f3

We received many feedback that the icons alone in the navigation bar are not too intuitive in understanding what page they're navigating too. So finally, we're adding some textual cues that show up on hover to the navigation bar in hopes to make navigating around the dashboard easier!

Foreign Key Management re-introduced into the Column side panel editor#

We previously made an update in the Table Editor to shift the management of foreign keys to the table editor as an effort to properly support composite foreign keys. This understandably caused the UX to suffer as we received many feedback around creating simple 1:1 foreign key relations much more troublesome. We've thus re-introduced being able to manage your foreign keys while editing a column! Thank you so much for everyone's feedback around this - it's something that we genuinely appreciate our community for! 🙏

Toggle intellisense for the SQL editor#

Intellisense for the SQL editor was always enabled by default for everyone, but we're now making this a toggleable feature - this is more specifically useful for large projects with many tables as we've noticed the amount of data we try to load into intellisense causes the SQL editor to slow down noticeable (likely due to browser memory issues).

Table Editor side menu revamp#

We're in the midst of revising the UX around the table editor to ensure that controls aren't sprawled across the page despite us building more and more features - and this is just the first step of more to come. Icons for tables and views have been tweaked to be more minimal, each table has an indicator to whether RLS has been enabled or not, and the search bar has been made a tad sleeker. As an assurance, we definitely hear everyone's feedback about the changes here in particular with the search bar being less visible and are actively looking to improve the experience here! 🙏

Supavisor, our connection pooler, does not support using Network Restrictions at the moment. Support for Network Restrictions will be enabled on the 24th of January 2024.

If you are not using Supavisor, this change does not affect you.

Starting the 24th, projects with existing network restrictions will have their Supavisor configuration automatically updated with the same restrictions. Changes to any project’s network restrictions will also be automatically propagated to Supavisor.

FAQ#

• How does the upcoming IPv6 migration affect this change?

If direct connections to your database resolve to a IPv6 address, you need to add both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDRs to the list of allowed CIDRs. Network Restrictions will be applied to all database connection routes, whether pooled or direct. You will need to add both the IPv4 and IPv6 networks you want to allow. There are two exceptions: if you have been granted an extension on the IPv6 migration OR if you have purchased the IPv4 add-on, you need only add IPv4 CIDRs.

On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. We're deprecating IPv4 for direct connections.

For more rationale behind the change, please read our blog post: Brace yourself, IPv6 is coming.

If you plan on not using our connection pooler, which still supports IPv4, and your environment does not support IPv6, consider enabling the add-on.

[!NOTE]
You do not need to enable this add-on if you use Supavisor, our new connection pooler!

The add-on is $4 per month - we're simply passing on the AWS costs to you. The add-on is available for all paid plans.

You still need to migrate away from PGBouncer even with this add-on enabled.

You can now enable the IPv4 addon in your project addon settings.

Additionally, we're working on making this even better by offering dedicated IPv4 addresses which help with IP allowlisting and network restrictions. There will be another update once dedicated IPv4 addresses are ready to use.

Day 5 - Introducing Read Replicas#

This is a huge one for anyone wanting to serve data closer to the users or distribute loads across multiple databases. Learn how we implemented Read Replicas and how to use them in your projects.

• Blog post
• Video announcement

More announcements from Launch Week X#

As if all that wasn't enough, we shipped even more cool stuff:

• Fly Postgres, managed by Supabase
• Supabase Libraries V2: Python, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, and Typescript
• Supavisor 1.0: a scalable connection pooler for Postgres
• Postgres Language Server: implementing the Parser
• Supabase Grafana
• Supabase Wrappers v0.2: Query Pushdown & Remote Subqueries
• PostgREST 12
• pg_graphql: Postgres functions now supported

Released Supavisor 1.1.5

Notable#

• Pools now start with only 10 connections and create new ones up to tenant default_pool_size or user pool_size
• Logs correct tenant id
• API endpoints accept PATCH requests

Previously Supavisor would start a deterministic number of connection depending on the pool size specified on the tenant or tenant user.

Now Supavisor will start 10 connections and then allocate more as needed.

It was pretty easy to over-allocate your database max_connections without fully understanding what your max_connections were and how many were currently being used by other services.

This also makes migration from PgBouncer easier as it's much safer to run multiple connection poolers at the same time as you migrate, as long as they both don't need to allocate their full database connection pools.

Also an implied behavior of Supavisor was that each user connected spins up it's own pool. Without understanding this behavior it's easy to over-allocate database connections by connecting different Posgres users to the pooler.

Improve loading interface on Auth users page#

Navigating between pages if your project has many users is now less jarring.

Sort RLS policies alphabetically#

Once again, thank you @tranhoangvuit for helping us with this!

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/20163

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/policies

Released Supavisor v1.1.2

Notable#

• allow_list field on the tenant to support network restrictions
• More docs
• client_heartbeat_interval on the tenant to detect zombie client connections
• Bug fixes
• Observability improvements

The client_heartbeat_interval helps us detect client connections from behind a load balancer which are dead but did not close the TCP connection correctly. This interval defaults to one minute but is configurable per tenant.

The allow_list field on the tenant takes a list of CIDR ranges and validates incoming connection addresses against this list. The incoming client address must be in one of these ranges to be accepted.

Also, started a Supavisor FAQ!

Further to https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/18654 , the threshold for transitioning large databases to use physical backups for their daily backups is being lowered to 40GB over the next few days.

Physical backups are more performant, have lower impact on the db, and avoid holding locks for long periods of time. Restores continue to work as expected, but backups taken using this method can no longer be downloaded from the dashboard.

Over the next few months, we'll be introducing functionality to restore to a separate, new database, allowing for the perusal of the backed up data without disruption to the original project.

Please refer to supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/backups#daily-backups-process for additional details.

Launch Week X is just over, but the fun doesn't stop! This changelog summarizes what has been released for Studio over last week as well as other improvements that we shipped behind the scenes while Launch Week X was ongoing.

Supabase Assistant (For Auth RLS policies)#

https://github.com/supabase/supabase/assets/19742402/c10ab0bc-a2be-4739-be3a-5eb6ef802af1

We've got a new RLS Editor that brings SQL front-and-center, giving developers access to the full potential of Postgres rather than abstracting it away. Accompanying it is an AI assistant that has been tuned to produce SQL for Row Level Security policies, making it fast and easy to get your policies setup the way you need them.

If you're keen to give this a spin, you may enable this feature from the Feature Previews section (which we'll cover more in the last section of this changelog) while you're in a project. This will replace the current UI for creating RLS policies with this new AI assisted RLS Editor UI.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/19166

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/policies

Postgres Roles & User Impersonation#

Run queries in Studio using different roles - this is potentially a powerful tool for testing your Row Level Security policies and determining which data each role can access. You may also impersonate a specific user in Studio by "minting" a JWT with their ID and then running the queries using that JWT.

This feature is available not just in the Table Editor, but also in the SQL Editor, GraphiQL interface, and Realtime Inspector (which we'll talk about more right in the next section below)

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/18945

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/editor

Realtime Inspector#

An easy way to prototype, inspect, and debug Realtime directly in the Studio. You can use the Realtime Inspector to view messages being sent and received in channels, and also filter messages by type: presence, broadcast, and database changes.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/17617

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/realtime/inspector

Feature Previews#

Our new tool for unveiling new features - we'll release beta features as previews before making them generally available. This will help us to get features out to you faster, make it easier for you to give us feedback, and also shorten the iteration loop.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/17775

Auth Settings added option to support manual identity linking#

Supabase Auth allows a user to initiate identity linking with a different email address when they are logged in. More information can be found in our documentation here.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/19615

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/auth

Table Editor support selecting types from the extensions schema when creating/editing columns#

Database extensions that are installed through the dashboard on the database/extensions page are, most of the time, installed by default in the extensions schema (as it's the default dropdown option) unless the extension has a schema that it's required to be in, or the user changes it to be installed in another schema.

If the installed extension (e.g vector) has enumerated types, the Table Editor then can access those types for users to assign them to columns, without having the user to install them in another schema.

We've improved insights into usage, billing and costs.

Vastly improved usage summary#

We previously had a slightly hidden usage summary in the "Upcoming Invoice" section. This section has been revamped and moved to the organization's usage page.

The improved usage summary features:

• Per-project breakdown for usage
• Displays costs for over-usage on usage-based plans (pro with spend cap off, team, enterprise)
• Displays usage in percent for usage-capped plans (free/pro with spend cap on)
• Metrics with higher usage/costs will be sorted to the top
• Insights into compute usage in summary
• Usage can now be retrieved for a custom period and not just the current billing cycle
• Usage summary can be filtered by project
• Indicators if you're exceeding/approaching limits which could lead to restrictions

The new usage summary section (usage-capped plan):

New usage summary with a usage-based plan (Pro with spend cap off, Team, Enterprise):

When hovering over the circular progress bars, you get per-project breakdowns of usage and some further information:

We now also allow you to filter the total usage by a single project or a different period than the current billing cycle. Simply change the timeframe at the top of the usage page.

Usage filtered with a custom timeframe (not relative to billing cycle):

Daily Stats for Compute Usage#

The organization's usage page shows daily stats for all sorts of usage-based metrics and was still missing insights for compute hours. Compute Usage insights have been added to the usage page.

New section on the usage page:

Sample usage with a single project:

When running multiple projects or projects on different compute sizes:

Better insights for upcoming invoice#

The "Upcoming invoice" section on the organization billing page has been vastly improved and now offers per-project breakdown of metrics and project add-ons. Additionally, there is a simple projection of your cost at the end of the month.

Here's an overview of the new section with all project breakdowns collapsed:

You can expand any usage-based item or project add-on to get a per-project breakdown:

The line items have also been improved to show included quotas and costs for over-usage:

Quickly see if you're exceeding your plans limit#

On usage-capped plans (Free Plan or Pro Plan with Spend Cap toggled on), you will now also see a warning on the top of the subscription page, in case you're exceeding your plan's limits. A more detailed breakdown is available on the organization's usage page.

Project breakdown for subscription preview#

When you are about to upgrade your organization's subscription plan from free to paid or between paid plans, we show you a confirmation screen. That confirmation screen has been improved to show a per-project breakdown for compute costs. Additionally, some useful information about usage-billing for compute and links to related docs have been added.

New confirmation modal:

Table Editor row edit side panel fix boolean fields rendering stale value#

There was issue in the Table Editor when you're editing rows in the side panel, specifically for column types that are rendering the Listbox component, whereby the data rendered in that input field is stale (from the previous row that you opened). This was caused by the Listbox component not re-rendering correctly when the value passed to it has changed and is now fixed.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/19264 Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/editor

Added recommendation to enable PITR when enabling branching#

We strongly recommend enabling point in time recovery for your project if you're planning to enable branching. This is to ensure that you can always recover data if you make a "bad migration". For example, if you accidentally delete a column or some of your production data.

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/19324 Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/

Previously, it was possible to directly insert/update rows on the pg_cron extension's cron.job table. This bypasses security checks that would've been asserted when jobs are scheduled/modified via pg_cron functions.

You can see how to schedule/modify cron jobs using the examples in our docs.

LinkedIn has modified the required scopes for their API and OAuth Applications created prior to 1st Aug 2023 do not contain the appropriate scopes. This could cause errors when attempting to sign in with OAuth via LinkedIn. If you have LinkedIn provider enabled on your project a follow up notification will be sent to your email as you could potentially have a LinkedIn OAuth application created before 1st Aug 2023 and be affected. As we don't have access to LinkedIn OAuth configuration we cannot tell with certainty when your OAuth application was created and have to reach out to all users with LinkedIn enabled.

To adjust to this change, we have introduced a new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider which contains the new required scopes and we have deprecated the existing LinkedIn provider.

If you are using a LinkedIn OAuth Application created before 1st August 2023 we ask that you create a new LinkedIn application and migrate your Dashboard credentials from the deprecated LinkedIn provider to the new LinkedIn (OIDC) provider as shown in the screenshot below. Please do so before 4th Jan 2024 as we will be removing the provider from the dashboard then.

Edge Functions has some predefined secrets: SUPABASE_DB_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY. Previously, if you reset your DB password or JWT secret, these secrets will become stale. Now, these changes should be propagated into Edge Functions secrets. This fixes https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues/12415.

If you've previously had this issue, you can reset your DB password using the old value to avoid downtime for your app. If you're resetting the JWT secret, you need to update your app to use the new API keys, which incurs some downtime.

Realtime runs migrations for tables under the realtime schema when it connects to databases. Sometimes this fails. These changes handle Realtime migration failures better.

tldr:#

Support for column encryption in the table editor has been removed. You can still use it, but you must use SQL. Your data is already encrypted-at-rest, so this is an advanced feature that should be used sparingly.

How it was previously#

Previously, the Table Editor in the Supabase dashboard supported encrypting newly created columns using pgsodium’s Transparent Column Encryption (TCE).

Why we’re changing it#

While this makes it easy to use, we found that the easiness has led to a lot of “mis-use” of Encryption. We’ve decided to remove it from the UI for now because TCE has a few sharp edges and the dashboard makes it too easy to encrypt columns without considering trade-offs.

This mis-use led to multiple users frequently running into unrecoverable issues with encryption. A non-exhaustive list of issues which we observed users running into when using TCE through the dashboard includes the following:

• TCE is prone to inappropriate usage - we’ve seen users encrypting all kinds of stuff that does not need to be encrypted (e.g email address of sender/receivers). This incurs a performance penalty and results in a bad experience.
• TCE makes migrating between projects (or local to hosted) a problem as you’d also have to copy the root encryption key separately, although this is nonetheless by design. Developers should be aware that “just works” and “advanced encryption” are very difficult goals to align.
• Triggers (which are used by TCE) are executed in alphabetical order. When users add their own triggers on encrypted tables, they are frequently unaware if they are dealing with encrypted or unencrypted contents which has been a source of confusion.
• Upserting into an encrypted column could produce doubly encrypted content.
• Since TCE uses a view into an encrypted table, RLS rules that are applied on the underlying table do not apply to the views as views use the permissions of the creator rather than the query-er, leading to another source of confusion. There is a fix for this which is to add a security label to pg_sodium to make the view a security invoker.

If you want TCE, use SQL instead#

As of now, you can use TCE in SQL by following the pg_sodium documentation so users who already are using TCE can continue doing so via the SQL editor on the dashboard, while new users will have to learn the nuts and bolts of what they are doing before trying to use the feature.

Server-Side Auth in Next.js 14#

We've released @supabase/ssr, which makes it super easy to use cookies for storing user sessions. We’ve updated npx create-next-app -e with-supabase to use @supabase/ssr and made it compatible with Next.js 14.

Read the blog post.

pgvector vs Pinecone#

pgvector is becoming the vector store of choice for developers. We’ve put it to the test against Pinecone and found that it performs better on cost and query throughput, without sacrificing accuracy.

See the full benchmarks

Manage storage buckets from the command line#

You can now manage Storage buckets with the Supabase CLI:

• supabase storage ls -r: show all buckets and objects
• supabase cp -r readme.md ss:///bucket: upload local files to bucket
• supabase cp -r ss:///bucket: download objects from bucket
• supabase rm -r ss:///bucket: delete files from bucket

Managing Storage buckets with CLI works best if there are less than 100k objects in your bucket and each of them is smaller than 20MB. Reference docs are here.

Moving to IPV6 for Database Connection Strings#

With IPv4 addresses becoming increasingly scarce and cloud providers starting to charge for it, we won’t be assigning IPv4 addresses to Supabase projects from January 15th, 2024. [db.projectref.supabase.co](http://db.projectref.supabase.co) will start resolving to a IPv6 address instead. If you plan on connecting to your database directly, you must ensure that your network can communicate over IPv6. Supavisor will continue to return IPv4 addresses, so you can update your applications to connect to Supavisor instead.

As we plan the next few months of Dashboard development, we're reaching out to users to see all the different ways people use the Dashboard in their work.

Last month, we opened up a public RFC for the Dashboard SQL Editor. It's been amazing to see how people use this tool to build their projects. If you're a heavy user of the SQL Editor, we'd love to get your feedback.

We also started doing user interviews to understand how users use the Dashboard. Our goal is to build the best possible Dashboard for all of our users, and you can help! Reach out to Terry you would like to share your experience.

Remix Auth Helpers#

It’s here! The much-awaited Remix Auth Helpers make server-side auth even easier and with a better experience. Up to date with supabase-js V2 and can be used with Typescript.

Read the docs

Edgy Edge Functions#

We launched a new YouTube series, Edgy Edge Functions, where we take a deep look at a new function every week.

Plus, we published three new functions examples: Generate OG Images, Build API servers using Oak, and Generate Screenshots using Puppeteer.

Quick product updates#

• NextAuth Supabase Adapter. Docs. This allows you to run NextAuth as your authentication server while storing user and session data in a dedicated next_auth schema in your Supabase Database. Complete with support for RLS. Do note that NextAuth is a standalone Authentication server that does not interface with Supabase Auth and therefore provides a different feature set.

• Fixed two issues with the supabase.auth.signOut function: cookies not clearing properly and session not removed.

• You can now customize magic links by providing access to the {{ .TokenHash }}. PR

• Now you can do redirects from your functions. PR

• Conda support (conda install -c conda-forge supabase and everything else in py)

supabase-js v2 and supabase-flutter v1 released#

The new versions of our two most popular SDKs have been fully released. It couldn’t have happened without our amazing community, thanks to everyone involved. Now, it’s time to build 🛠

Try supabase-js V2

Try flutter-supabase V1

New Next.js quickstart & Next.js 13 example#

Next.js is all the rage right now 🔥 

Next.js Conf raised the bar for dev conferences. We had the honor of being a Gold Sponsor, so we revamped our Next.js Quickstart guide to include our pre-built Auth UI and Auth Helpers.

And Next.js 13 was announced! Making it extremely easy to fetch and cache data from our Serverless API. So we put together an example to try it out.

Supabase Auth and Server-Side Rendering#

The Auth team published an in-depth doc explaining how Supabase Auth supports server-side rendering. Includes an explanation of the authentication flow and answers to some of the more common questions.

Read the docs.

Database Testing with pgTAP#

Do you have 100% code coverage? Probably not, because that’s usually the last thing you think of, but definitely not if you don’t have database tests. We just shipped a framework for Database Tests which makes it incredibly easy to test your database using pgTAP an pg_prove.

Read the docs.

Edge Functions Update#

Functions now support GET requests! Other HTTP verbs such as PUT, PATCH, and DELETE are supported too.

Check this example

Quick Product Updates#

• supabase-py 🐍 now has functions support! PR
• You can now detect users’ location from Edge Functions easily by using X-Forwarded-For header. Example
• Return provider_refresh_token along with provider_access_token. PR
• Added a refreshSession method to allow users to forcefully refresh a session instead of waiting for it to autorefresh upon expiry. Thanks to @j4w8n for the PR 🙇🏻‍♂️
• Logging: realtime, storage, postgrest, and pgbouncer released.
• Trigger a file download by adding the download query parameter to your storage objects. storage-api. PR

Kaizen Week#

We did something a bit strange during September - we didn't work on features. Quite the opposite. After Launch Week we did three subsequent weeks of Kaizen, a term we use internally to deliver constant and incremental improvement. Each week had a different focus:

• Week 1: QA and testing
• Week 2: Documentation
• Week 3: Issue Backlog and Automation

It's pretty rare for a company to stop feature development altogether, but luckily we're just a bunch of developers so we all know the pain of technical debt. After 5 Launch Weeks, working on testing and backlogs feels like a bit of a relief.

We saw a lot of progress across our Open Issues - closing over 250 issues and 50 Pull Requests.

Auth UI on Product Hunt#

We launched the new Auth UI on Product Hunt! Auth UI is a pre-built React component for authenticating users with Supabase Auth. It supports custom themes and extensible styles to match your brand and aesthetic.

Check out the launch.

Postgres WASM#

If you've ever wondered, "can I run Postgres inside a browser, using an embeddable Linux Virtual Machine?", wonder no longer. With our friends at Snaplet, we've released an open source Postgres WASM.

Read the blog post
Comment on Hacker News
Visit the repo: Snaplet | Supabase

Security updates#

We're making some changes to the way the Dashboard interacts with your database. These changes simplify the database permissions so that it's easier for you to migrate in and out of Supabase, and they reduce the security surface area considerably. The change will be applied automatically in November, or you can run it today via the Dashboard.

Review the Security Notice.

Quick product updates#

• Edge functions free plan script size is bumped to 2 MB
  
• functions-go was just contributed to supabase-community by Zain Khan
  
• A new guide to add captcha to your sign-in, sign-up, and password reset forms
  
• New Postgres Extension for monitoring your PostgreSQL database network traffic: pg_netstat
  
• Added docs for how caching works in Supabase

System updates#

All projects#

• PostgREST updated to v9.0.0
• Realtime updated to v0.19.0
• Storage updated to 0.10.0
• GoTrue to v2.2.10

New projects#

• PostgreSQL updated to v14.1

Manual Changes Required#

Update custom auth functions#

Details#

The PostgREST release notes document some changes to the way GUC variables are handled here.

Supabase has created a config flag in the Dashboard to ensure that this will not be a breaking change. These changes are required before you can upgrade to PostgreSQL 14+, or use Realtime RLS.

Supabase has already updated all the default auth functions (auth.uid(), auth.role() and auth.email()), however we have no way of updating functions which we have not written ourselves.

Affected#

• Any project that have custom auth functions or generally any function that use legacy GUC naming convention to access JWT claims (eg current_setting('request.jwt.claims.XXX', true).
  • This change is required for PostgreSQL 14+.
  • This change is required for Realtime row level security

Unaffected#

• New projects
• Existing projects who haven't written custom auth functions.

How to update#

You need to update all functions that are using the legacy GUC naming convention (current_setting('request.jwt.claims.XXX', true)) to use the new convention (current_setting('request.jwt.claims', true)::json->>'XXX').

After you have made this change, you can safely

Example#

For example, Supabase rewrote the auth.role() functions like this, to handle both legacy and new:

Three new Auth providers, multi-schema support, and we're gearing up for another Launch Week. Let's dive into what's been happening at Supabase during the month of October.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Slack, Spotify, and MessageBird logins#

Thanks to @HarryET and our friends at MessageBird we have 3 new Auth providers this month: Slack, Spotify, and MessageBird phone logins.

Multi-schema support#

Dashboard#

We raised $30 million#

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.

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.

We launched a Discord server#

You'll find us hanging out regularly in the #hangout channel. We even "live-fixed" some production errors in there on Monday night (which occurred literally 1 hour before our first announcement of the week! Typical!). We're fast approaching 1,500 members so come and join the action! discord.supabase.com

PostgreSQL 13#

All new Supabase projects will be launched with PostgreSQL 13.3, and we're working on a migration path for old projects. This gives you looooaads of new stuff out the box.

PostgREST v8.0#

We worked with our friends at PostgREST to make some huge improvements. For those of you who don't know, every Supabase instance comes with a dedicated PostgREST server by default, which provides the auto-generated CRUD API that we wrap with supabase-js.

Flutter/Dart support#

Our community driven libs for the fasted growing mobile and web framework are now in beta. Learn more by following the Quickstart guide.

Vercel integration#

Vercel just released their new integrations, which means you can now deploy a Postgres database on Supabase directly from your Vercel account. Check it out! vercel.com/integrations/supabase

Discord logins are now available#

Building a community? There's almost no better tool than Discord (we're even trialling it ourselves). If you're building a community product, Discord logins are the perfect option.

New Guides#

We spent the month building up a new Guides section in our Docs. Here are a few highlights:

Postgres Full Text Search#

Ever wanted to build a Search Engine? We just released a guide which shows you how to implement Full Text Search using Postgres.

OAuth Guides#

We released step-by-step guides to help you set up OAuth with Apple, Bitbucket, Facebook, GitHub, GitLab, Google, and Twitter.

Javascript + Postgres#

Did you know that you can use Javascript inside your Postgres database? Here's how, with the plv8 extension.

Public Storage Buckets#

Want to share all your favourite memes? Now it's even easier with Public Storage Buckets. Simply mark a bucket as "Public" and the content will be accessible without a login.

Storage upserts#

Supabase Storage now supports upsert. Shoutout to @ankitjena for this Pull Request.

Server restarts#

When things go wrong, sometime the best thing you can do is reboot. We released a restart button in the Dashboard, the first of many debugging tools we'll be releasing over the next few months.

Policy editor#

We added a new Table Policy Editor which makes Row Level Security even easier. We even included a few templates to get you started.

Light Mode#

We're a developer tool, which means that Dark Mode is extremely popular.

While Dark mode is great, for some people it's not an option. Dark Mode is difficult to use for developers with astigmatisms, or even just working in brightly-lit environments.

So today we're shipping Light Mode. Access it in the settings of your Dashboard.

OpenAPI spec for Storage#

We released Storage Api docs built using OpenAPI (swagger).

Stripe Sync Engine (Experimental)#

We open-sourced a server which keeps any Postgres database in sync with Stripe. This is experimental only. We're evaluating other tools such as Singer, which provide a more general solution (but are less "realtime"), and we're opening it up here to gather feedback.

Community spotlight: Threaded comments#

One of the most powerful Postgres features is "recursive CTEs" which can be used for nested items (comments, pages, friend-graphs). @lawrencecchen has built a full Threaded Comments demo which you can Deploy with a single click. Want to add comments to your blog with Full Text Search? Just use Postgres.

Community spotlight: SupaScript#

It looks like @burggraf2 got tired of waiting for us to ship Functions, and decided to build a whole JS ecosystem within his Supabase database. If you want to write PG functions in JS, import remote libraries from the web, and console log to your browser, check out this SupaScript repo.

Coming Next#

You might have noticed our Dashboard slowly changing (improving), as we migrate the components out to our open source UI Library. This progression is an important step towards offering a UI for Local Development and Self Hosting.

We're also working on our Workflows engine. This is quite a large task, but we're making progress and aiming to ship sometime in July.

Launch week, Storage, Supabase CLI, Connection Pooling, Supabase UI, and Pricing. Here's what we released last month.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Supabase Storage#

Need to store images, audio, and video clips? Well now you can do it on Supabase Storage. It's backed by S3 and our new OSS storage API written in Fastify and Typescript. Read the full blog post.

Connection Pooling#

The Supabase API already handles Connection Pooling, but if you're connecting to your database directly (for example, with Prisma) we now bundle PgBouncer. Read the full blog post.

React UI Component Library#

We open sourced our internal UI component library, so that anyone can use and contribute to the Supabase aesthetic. It lives at ui.supabase.io . It was also the #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.

CLI#

Now you can run Supabase locally in the terminal with supabase start. We have done some preliminary work on diff-based schema migrations, and added some new tooling for self-hosting Supabase with Docker. Blog post here.

OAuth Scopes#

Thanks to a comunity contribution (@_mateomorris and @Beamanator), Supabase Auth now includes OAuth scopes. These allow you to request elevated access during login. For example, you may want to request access to a list of Repositories when users log in with GitHub. Check out the Documentation.

Kaizen#

• You can now manage your PostgREST configuration inside the Dashboard.
• Our website has been redesigned. Check out our new Homepage and Blog, and our new Database, Auth, and Storage product pages.
• We refactored some of our Filter methods to make them even easier to use. Check out the Full Text Search refactor.
• We have added several new sections to our Docs including: Local Dev, Self Hosting, and Postgres Reference docs (all still under development).

Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. We've now been building for one year. Here's what we released last month.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Dashboard Sidebars#

We've improved the UX of our Dashboard with sidebars in every section, including the Table view, the Auth section, and the SQL Editor.

SQL Autocomplete#

Writing SQL just got 10x easier. We added autocomplete to the SQL editor, including table & column suggestions.

Auth Redirects#

Redirect your users to specific route within your site on signIn() and signUp().

Learning Resources#

We've released a new Resources section in our docs, as well as two new Auth modules: GoTrue Overview and Google OAuth.

New Region#

Launch your database in South Africa.

Kaizen#

• We filled up our Examples page with a lot of new content.
• We released a Docker Compose file for running Supabase locally. This will be used in our upcoming CLI.
• We have a couple of pending RFCs which you may want to participate in:
  • Planning our CLI and Local Development
  • Connection Pooling on Supabase

New year, new features. We've been busy at Supabase during January and our community has been even busier. Here's a few things you'll find interesting.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Count functionality#

Anyone who has worked with Firebase long enough has become frustrated over the lack of count functionality. This isn't a problem with PostgreSQL! Our libraries now have support for PostgREST's exact, planned, and estimated counts. A massive thanks to @dshukertjr for this adding support to our client library.

New Auth Providers#

We enabled 2 new Auth providers - Facebook and Azure. Thanks to @Levet for the Azure plugin, and once again to Netlify's amazing work with GoTrue to implement Facebook.

Auth Audit Trail#

We have exposed the audit trail directly in the dashboard, as well as the GoTrue logs. Great for security and debugging.

Auth UI widget#

In case our Auth endpoints aren't easy enough already, we've built a React Auth Widget for you to drop into your app and to get up-and-running in minutes.

New auth.email() function#

We added a helper function for extracting the logged in user's email address.

New Regions#

Launch your database in London or Sydney!

Copy rows as Markdown#

You can now copy SQL results as Markdown - super useful for adding to blogs and issues.

React server components#

If you're excited by React Server components then check out the Supabase + Server Components experimental repo. https://github.com/supabase/next-server-components

Learn#

We know that Auth can be a bit daunting when you're just starting out, so we have created some intro videos to get you up to speed in no time:

• Supabase Auth Deep Dive Part 1: JWTs
• Supabase Auth Deep Dive Part 2: Restrict Table Access
• Supabase Auth Deep Dive Part 3: User Based Access Policies

Kaizen#

• Performance: We migrated all of our subdomains to Route53, implementing custom Let's Encrypt certs for your APIs. As a result, our read benchmarks are measuring up 12% faster.
• Performance: We upgrade your databases to the new GP3 storage for faster and more consistent throughput.

After 10 hectic months of building, Supabase is now in Beta.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Supabase is now in Beta#

We spent months working on Performance, Security, and Reliability. Read more on our Beta Page.

Improve your docs inline#

Add comments and descriptions to your Tables directly from our auto-generated docs.

Table View now has realtime changes#

Any updates that happen to your database are reflected in the Table View immediately.

Table Pagination#

Our table view now has pagination - better for working with large data sets.

Supabase raised a Seed Round#

We raised $6M from Y Combinator, Mozilla, and Coatue. You can read more on TechCrunch.

Kaizen#

• Supabase is now 26% faster in regions which support Graviton (1460 reqs/s up from 1167 reqs/s)
• We launched a new region in Sao Paulo.
• Postgres Array Support. You can now edit Native Postgres array items in the grid editor or the side panel.
• We added better support for your custom Database Types.
• Fixed some buggy keyboard commands. We're continuously improving key commands in the Table editor.

We've been building for 9 months now, are we're getting even closer to Beta.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Add users#

You can now add users manually from your dashboard.

User admin#

You can also perform admin functions on existing users - send password reset emails, magic links, and delete users.

Even more powerful SQL Editor#

Last month we announced an improved SQL Editor, and this month we've taken it even further. The SQL Editor is now a full Monaco editor, like you'd find in VS Code. Build your database directly from the browser.

Status page#

We added a Status Page which tracks the uptime and latency of the Supabase platform.

Kaizen#

• We completed a security audit by DigitalXRAID.
• Email confirmations now enabled by default for signups.
• Updated Benchmarking Suite to include more realistic workloads, on various different servers (results published soon).
• You can now set/edit/remove Foreign Keys via the table editor.

We're now 8 months into building Supabase. We're focused on performance, stability, and reliability but that hasn't prevented us from shipping some great features.

This is also available as a blog post and a video demo.

Supabase.js 1.0#

In the lead-up to our Beta launch, we've released supabase-js version 1.0 and it comes with some major Developer Experience improvements. We received a lot of feedback from the community and we've incorporated it into our client libraries for our 1.0 release.

Check out the blog post to learn more.

More powerful SQL Editor#

Although it was only intended to be a temporary feature, the SQL Editor has become one of the most useful features of Supabase. This month we decided to make give it some attention, adding Tabs and making it full-screen. This is the first of many updates, we've got some exciting things planned for the SQL Editor.

Keyboard shortcuts for Power Users#

For the heavy table editor users, we've gone ahead and added a bunch of key commands and keyboard shortcuts so you can zip around and manipulate your tables faster than ever.

Magic Links#

One of the most requested Auth features was the ability to send magic links that your users can use to log in. You can use this with new or existing users, and alongside passwords or stand alone.

Kaizen#

• We have new and improved docs.
• We converted realtime-js to TypeScript.
• Dashboard Performance: we heavily optimised our dashboard routes.
• With the help of the community, we closed a lot of issues during Hacktoberfest.
• We have started benchmarking all the open source tools we use. We'll publish the results this month.

This is also available as a blog post.

Third-party logins#

We've released OAuth logins! You can now enable third-party logins on your app for Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, or Google.

Clone tables#

You can duplicate your tables, just like you would inside a spreadsheet.

Enable and disable extensions#

Extensions are easier to use. You can enable Postgres extensions with the click of a button.

Save your favorite queries#

The SQL editor now stores your query history in your browser. You can also save your favorite queries to run later!

GitHub Discussions#

Supabase was given access to GitHub Discussions! This is the place for you to ask questions or show off what you've built with Supabase.

Kaizen#

• Our dashboard now uses Next.js automatic static optimization - so it should be noticeably more responsive.
• We created an Isomorphic gotrue-js TypeScript library for interacting with Netlify's GoTrue server. This will soon be bundled into supabase-js
• We migrated our postgrest-js library to TypeScript, and it will soon be bundled into supabase-js

This is also available as a blog post.

We're 6 months into building our hosted database platform and we've made some major improvements to our auth system and table view.

Easily create tables#

Set up tables and columns directly from the table view.

Invite your team#

You can now invite team members to your organisation.

Auth: Email Confirmations#

You can now enable Email Confirmations for new users. This can be toggled on or off and the template for this email can be edited via the dashboard.

Typescript support#

The biggest communty contribution to date, @thorwebdev added Typescript support to Supabase. He even live streamed the process.

Kaizen#

We have a number of small improvements:

• supabase-js now has UMD support
