Developer Updates - April 2024

[w3b6x9]

Here’s everything we shipped during our GA week:

Day 1 - Supabase is officially launching into General Availability (GA)

Supabase has moved to General Availability (GA) with over 1 million databases under management and over 2,500 databases launched daily. We’ve been production ready for years and now we are fully confident that we can help every customer become successful, from weekend projects to enterprise initiatives at organizations like Mozilla, 1Password, and PwC.

Day 2 - Supabase Functions now supports AI models

Supabase Functions has added a native API that makes it easy to run AI models within your functions while removing nasty cold starts. You can use the gte-small embedding model to generate text embeddings or bring your own Ollama server to tap into many more embedding models and Large Language Models (LLMs) like Llama3 and Mistral. Soon we’ll provide hosted Ollama servers so you won’t have to manage them yourselves for a more seamless experience.

Day 3 - Supabase Auth now supports Anonymous sign-ins

Supabase Auth heard your requests and went to work building anonymous sign-ins which enable you to create temporary users that have yet to sign up for your application. This lowers the friction for visitors to use your application while making it easy to convert them to permanent users once they’re hooked.

Supabase Storage already has standard and resumable uploads and now supports the industry standard S3 protocol enabling multipart upload and compatibility with a myriad of tools such as AWS CLI, Clickhouse, and Airbyte for a wide array of use cases.

Day 5 - Supabase Security & Performance Advisor

Supabase has managed over 1 million databases over the last four years and has seen all manner of use cases with common pitfalls that we’re helping our customers address with our Security, Performance, and Index Advisors. These Advisors will help to surface and fix insecure database configurations and recommend database and query optimizations to keep your database secure and performant for your mission critical workloads.
