After 5 months of building, we're releasing one of our most anticipated features: Supabase Auth.

Quick Demo#

Watch a full demo:

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 postgres-meta, 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
