This is especially helpful because Supabase uses PostegREST under the hood, which does not support OpenAPI 3.x. Note that some Postgres specific features like enums are not converted to JSON Schema enums as Sequelize doesn't expose that information.

PostgREST stands out as the leading solution for PostgreSQL databases. It turns your database directly into a RESTful API with minimal configuration. The tool automatically creates endpoints for tables and views, supports complex filters, and leverages PostgreSQL's row-level security for fine-grained access control. If you'd like to see this in action, check out our Neon PostgresQL sample.

If that were the case, then using a PostgreSQL API[0] that maps tables to APIs would be all that's required.

However, the real world is messy. Requirements change, which could lead the project becoming a reimplementation of full framework such as Django.

Django also comes with generic REST endpoints based on models thus giving you the magic, but still allows for all the different use cases and customizations that might present themselves during the full lifecycle of a project.

PostgREST 12.2 is out! It comes with Observability and API improvements. In this post, we'll see what's new.

Supabase provides a RESTful API using PostgREST. However, without RLS, you will expose your database to the frontend. With the RLS policies created above, it’s safe to expose the API to the public because each user can only access the data allowed by the policy. For example, if you try to get all the List items using the API below, you will only receive the ones you are allowed to read by the read policy:

I spoke at Swiss PgDay in Switzerland in late June. The talk was about how to create a no-code API with the famous PostgreSQL database, the related PostgREST, and Apache APISIX, of course. I already wrote about the idea in a previous post. However, I wanted to improve it, if only slightly.

Supabase was started as a thin deployment layer on top of PostgreSQL and PostgREST, which implies that understanding Supabase requires understanding PostgREST and PostgreSQL.

Yes, sorry about that. We're looking at it on https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/3503.

Netlify provides Netlify Identify in order to sign up, login, reset password, verify and confirm users. In order to use Identity you can either use the Netlify Identity Widget or GoTrue(https://github.com/netlify/gotrue) JavaScript plugin for custom configurations.

If you’ve been following us from the start, you will know that Supabase Auth started by forking Netlify’s GoTrue server. A lot has changed since then and we’ve diverged from the upstream repository. At this stage it makes sense to rename the project to something else (cues drumroll) — Auth.

I am testing gotrue netlift module https://github.com/netlify/gotrue

I guess since it's a deviation of it

Use a self-hostable auth microservice like gotrue or authelia, ORY's suite of products, etc.
