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.

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.

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.

New Regions#

Launch your database in London or Sydney!

Copy rows as Markdown#

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

React server components#

If you're excited by React Server components then check out the Supabase + Server Components experimental repo. https://github.com/supabase/next-server-components

Learn#

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.
