WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
In summary, using open source tools and frameworks like supabase, Next.js and Preevy can be a powerful combination for creating scalable full-stack applications, and more effective development workflows.
In this tutorial, we’re going to build a full-stack Slack-like application, with multiple running services. We’ll also set up preview environments for every commit in every branch, complete with all the running services. (spoiler alert - if you prefer to look straight at the code you can check out the finished product is in this repo).
To achieve that, we’ll be using Preevy, an open source tool for provisioning preview environments with minimal configuration. Preevy will build and deploy our app using a cloud provider, in this case cheap AWS Lightsail VMs, while exposing the services with a public, sharable URL for team collaboration.
Since supabase allows local development, we can leverage it to completely build a self-contained environment - meaning we can easily build the application with all of its dependencies based on the source code alone. No external service is required to make the application work.
In summary, using open source tools and frameworks like supabase, Next.js and Preevy can be a powerful combination for creating scalable full-stack applications, and more effective development workflows.
On the backend side of things, we’re going to use Supabase, an OSS project designed as an alternative to Google’s Firebase - a platform for DB, realtime communication, authentication and more.
By following the provided steps and utilizing Docker Compose, developers can easily set up preview environments that automatically build and deploy with each commit, facilitating efficient code review and collaboration.
