Feature status

Supabase Features are in 4 different states - Private Alpha, Public Alpha, Beta and Generally Available.

Private Alpha

Features are initially launched as a private alpha to gather feedback from the community. To join our early access program, send an email to [email protected].

Public Alpha

he alpha stage indicates that the API might change in the future, not that the service isn’t stable. Even though the uptime Service Level Agreement does not cover products in Alpha, we do our best to have the service as stable as possible.

Beta

Features in Beta are tested by an external penetration tester for security issues. The API is guaranteed to be stable and there is a strict communication process for breaking changes.

Generally Available

In addition to the Beta requirements, features in GA are covered by the uptime SLA.
