After 10 hectic months of building, Supabase is now in Beta.

### Quick demo

Watch a full demo:



### Supabase is now in Beta

We spent months working on Performance, Security, and Reliability. Read more on our [Beta Page](/beta).

### Improve your docs inline

Add comments and descriptions to your Tables directly from our auto-generated docs. Descriptions are stored as PostgreSQL comments ([https://postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-comment.html](https://postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-comment.html)), and are exposed over your OpenAPI spec.



### Table View now has realtime changes

Any updates that happen to your database are reflected in the Table View immediately.



### Table Pagination

Our table view now has pagination - better for working with large data sets.



### Supabase raised a Seed Round

We raised $6M from Y Combinator, Mozilla, and Coatue. You can read more on [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/15/supabase-raises-6m-for-its-open-source-firebase-alternative).

### Kaizen

- Supabase is now 26% faster in regions which support Graviton (1460 reqs/s up from 1167 reqs/s)
- We launched a new region in Sao Paulo.
- Postgres Array Support. You can now edit Native Postgres array items in the grid editor or the side panel.
- We added better support for your custom Database Types.
- Fixed some buggy keyboard commands. We're continuously improving key commands in the Table editor.
