Supabase – General Availability Week
hey hn, supabase ceo her
we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])
we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]
the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.
on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

The Many Ways Not to Build an API
If you use PostgreSQL and are proficient with using its row-level security feature, you can choose from several tools/services built above RLS, including Supabase, PostgREST, and PostGraphile. They all provide a way to expose database CRUD as a web API, assuming you've configured the RLS rules to properly secure the access.

Build a simple project management app with Neon, PostgREST, and DigitalOcean

Single Software Developer Projects
SupaBase is entirely based upon PostgREST. In fact, PostgREST is arguably 49% of their value proposition according to their own website. The other 49% is PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL of course is a super mature database, and some would argue the best RDBMS on the planet, so let's ignore that part for a moment, and consider it a mature thing and move on to PostgREST.

Use PostgREST and HTMX to Build RESTful APIs from PostgreSQL Databases
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database into a RESTful API using the database's structural constraints and permissions to define the API's endpoints and operations. In this tutorial, you will create a simple note-taking app by leveraging PostgREST to construct a RESTful API for the app and using htmx to deliver HTML content.

We built our customer data warehouse all on Postgres
You might find some info in the docs of PostgREST [1] or in the previous discussions on HN about it [2].
For the versioning, I just have a git repo where I keep every role, schema, table, view, function, trigger, etc. definitions. Every time I change something in the database I first change it in the git repo too to have an history.

Pandoc
Don't know if you would call this a "program" but PostgREST is written is Haskell too.

Supabase Auth: Identity Linking, Hooks, and HaveIBeenPwned integration
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.

Ask HN: Ok to only allow Google/Apple/FB login for mobile app?
To answer point 1: Maybe to start out, but in the long run, having only social logins may cause your app to lose a segment of the market (I don't know how much). If you're fine with that, then by all means only support social logins.
However, I strongly suggest having it (or some way for someone not to use a social provider) if you want to have as many users a possible.
Personally, I don't have a google account, I'm wary to use my Apple account for non-Apple sites, and I don't have facebook, instagram, new gen z hotness app, etc... And I can confidently say I am not alone in choosing to use apps which don't require a social login.
At the end of the day though, password auth isn't a non-trivial problem. It is a solved problem of which there are numerous articles/papers and many libraries for most languages/frameworks. For example, the Phoenix framework for Elixir has a built in command which scaffolds auth, and it works really well (I have used it in a personal project): https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/mix_phx_gen_auth.html. For JS, you can use something like passport: https://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-local/. If you want a separate service entirely (even though it would be more complex to have a separate service to start out), there is GoTrue: https://github.com/netlify/gotrue. These are just a few suggestions of tech I have come across. There is so much more out there, I encourage you to research options to see what may be a best fit.
If you're worried about password auth, maybe give one time passwords a try. They don't require any password reset flow, and are generally secure when implemented correctly. As an example, I don't have a password for my craigslist account. Every time I want to login, I can choose to get a magic link/otp which gets exchanged for a session. In practice (and this is my personal opinion), I prefer magic links. They are one time, hard to guess (again dependent on implementation), can be time limited, and most likely won't be intercepted in transit (though it could be in a rare circumstance).
To answer point 2: yes.
If your app is to order things (I use things in a general term) it sounds like eCommerce. And if you're in eCommerce, you better have a way for a user to track what they have ordered and how much they have paid for it at a minimum. Otherwise, your site may come across as a scam, even though it uses Stripe. Sketchy sites can use Stripe to get your money (albeit, it'll be a one time payment).
In conclusion, auth for your application seems crucial. Email/password auth is still relevant for applications. While not necessary for an MVP, there is a segment of the market you will lose if you don't have an email/password option, or even an email/OTP/magic link option (I don't know how much, really going off an educated guess).
Best of wishes in building your app! I genuinely hope it is successful and safe for people to leverage :)

I got tired of fussing with auth, so I built a thing for building OAuth login in under 60 seconds.
Use a self-hostable auth microservice like gotrue or authelia, ORY's suite of products, etc.
