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 July Alpha Updates
This is also available as a full blog post with videos.
After 5 months of building, we're releasing one of our most anticipated features: Supabase Auth.
Auth
This month, we're ecstatic to announce a feature we think you'll love: Supabase Auth. It's too big to fit into a monthly update so look out for a full update in the next few days.
We want to make it easy to get started adding Auth to your app, so we've released a simple example and a video tutorial which shows you how to implement a basic auth system using PostgreSQL's Row Level Security.
Table Editor
We've made some massive improvements to our Table Editor that we're excited to share.
Relationship drill down
Last month we made it easy to drill into your table relationships. This month, we make it possible to drill multiple levels deep.
Add, delete, and download rows
We're making it easier to manipulate your data. Next month, you'll be able to add and remove columns directly from the Table view.
New Postgres Extensions
If you launch a new Supabase project, you'll have access to several new Postgres extensions:
- pgsql-http: HTTP client for PostgreSQL, retrieve a web page from inside the database.
- pgjwt: PostgreSQL implementation of JSON Web Tokens
- plpgsql_check: a linter tool for language PL/pgSQL
- pljava: write Java in your stored procedures, triggers, and functions
Kaizen
We have a number of small improvements:
- Added Auth documentation to the auto-generated docs in each project
- Added a new
or
filter to the client library - Table View now remembers which tabs you had open.
- We have released a lot of new functionality to pg-api, a server for for managing Postgres internals via a REST interface.
- Performance: the "flash of black" which was appearing on page transition is now gone

Supabase June Alpha Updates
This is also available as a full blog post with videos.
We're now 4 months into building Supabase, which means another major update. Here's a few things we think you'll love in this release.
View relational data
We're sometimes asked how we will make Postgres as simple as Firebase, since Postgres is a relational database. This month we're making our first steps to prove that relational databases can be even easier to use than document stores. We're releasing an excel-like editing interface which can drill down into your relational data.
Manage JSON data
Postgres is an amazing database, giving the flexibility of a document store with the power of a RDBMS. If you use JSON
data in Postgres, then we want to make that easy too. Supabase detects when your column is JSON
or JSONB
, and provides an easy way to edit and view your data. More improvements coming soon for this feature!
Choose your region
If you noticed a bit of latency on Supabase, it's because your projects were previously set up in Singapore. It was always our intention that you'd be able to choose your database region, and this month we've delivered it. In the next releases we'll even allow you to go multi-region, instantly replicating your database close to your customers.
Backups
A guiding principle at Supabase is zero lock-in. So this month we are exposing your daily database backups on the dashboard, giving you a simple way to migrate off Supabase. We have a lot more to build in this space (WAL-G!
), so watch this space.
