  • Supabase MCP leaks your entire SQL Database, a lethal trifecta attack
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Jul 2025
    I think I know what you're talking about because I ran into this too. In defense of Supabase, you can still use transactions in other ways. Transactions through the client are messy and not easily supported by PostgREST.

    The GitHub issue here sums up the conversation about this:

    https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/286

    So... your comment is a bit disingenuous. Regardless of Hacker News's thoughts on MCP servers, there is a cohort of users that are finding them to be immensely useful. Myself included.

  • Generate an OpenAPI From Your Database
    4 projects | dev.to | 27 Dec 2024
    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.
  • Automatically Generate REST and GraphQL APIs From Your Database
    14 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2024
    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.

    > I don't really see how the validation schema and ORM model would ever really diverge...

    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.

  • Supabase RLS Alternative
    3 projects | dev.to | 24 Jul 2024
    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.
