Supabase Beta January 2021

02-02-2021

4 minute read

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.

Quick demo

Watch a full 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.

Supabase now supports count functionality

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.

Supabase now supports Azure and Facebook Oauth providers

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.

Copy rows as Markdown

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

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:

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.
