supabase-py VS realtime

This project is very impressive! I do hope Supabase decides to support https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-py , and not just leave it to the community. I would definitely consider becoming a paid customer, assuming Python was supported well/natively. If I am incorrect about Python support, please do let me know.

Thanks for working on such an awesome project!

Yet, what stops us from using supabase is not the set of features, but the state of the current apis. Last night I was evaluating the python sdk and some of the examples were broken, baseline features like RLS are unimplemented (https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-py/issues/58), and progress seems slow (it seems to have been release two years ago and it is still in alpha). Even though supporting many platforms is boring (i.e. no flashy feature announcements) and costly (many FTEs are required for maintenance let alone feature parity), are there any plans to bring feature parity more of the sdks to allow more developers to leverage this awesome platform?

Thanks to our incredible community, Supabase now has a powerful and open source Python SDK. With Supabase and Python, you can automate tasks such as CRUD operations with only a few lines of code. This guide will first create a simple schema in Supabase, then we’ll use the Supabase Python SDK to show how you can load sample data.

You can LISTEN/NOTIFY. Or you can use logical replication and a custom subscriber.[1] Supabase uses the latter.[2]

Supabase Realtime is great for building collaborative applications. You can receive database changes over websockets, store and synchronize data about user presence, and broadcast any data to clients via "channels".

We use :telemetry to collect usage data per tenant for Supabase Realtime.

We do this for rate limiting but it also makes it very easy for us to attach a listener (https://github.com/supabase/realtime/blob/main/lib/realtime/...) which ships these (per second) aggregates to BigQuery (via Logflare), which then the billing team can aggregate further to display and actually bill people with.

Yo :D This is what Supabase Realtime does!

Spin up a Supabase database and then subscribe to changes with WebSockets.

You can play with it here once you have a db: https://realtime.supabase.com/inspector/new

Every project is a Postgres database, wrapped in a suite of tools like Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime and Vectors, and encompassed by API middleware and logs.

Where can I learn more about this? I've been thinking of trying to integrate Supabase Realtime (https://github.com/supabase/realtime) into my Django app (without the rest of Supabase), but I'd also like to keep things even simpler if possible.

Also, what was the reason not to go with Gevent?

I believe #2 was the main driver for the supabase team to build their real-time component: https://github.com/supabase/realtime

As a minor note, one of the linked articles talks about having used RethinkDB for its changefeeds and I made a mental note a bit back that if I ever want that supabase's realtime ( https://github.com/supabase/realtime ) provides something rather like that atop Postgres and I should try that before doing anything clever.
