I’ve joined @Supabase as an AI Tooling Engineer, working on the #MCP server. I’m looking to improve the developer experience — if you’ve tried our MCP server, I’d love your feedback

YO! If you're using @supabase and you have a few hundred or thousand MAU and are interested in getting better o11y, I'm looking for people to beta test the new features and share feedback with me. DMs are open!
I’m happy to announce the @supabase Series E As part of this round we will run a community round, allowing our community and open source contributors to invest. Stay tuned
No database company has grown this fast before. That makes it hard to predict by analogy how big @supabase could end up being and is probably a sign they might be more than just a database company. Congrats on the raise @kiwicopple @AntWilson and team!

Fired up from #SupabaseSelect! Some fun conversations with @rauchg, @zoink, @zenorocha, @AntWilson and @kiwicopple -- lots of potential when great infra meets serious distribution. Stay tuned!

Today we are making the @orioledb Patent freely available to the Postgres community Oriole is a storage extension for Postgres which uses Postgres' pluggable storage system. It's a drop-in replacement for Postgres' existing storage engine (Heap). Our north star is to upstream Oriole to be part of the Postgres source tree, developed and maintained in the open alongside the rest of Postgres (if the community want it!) We announced the acquisition of Oriole over a year ago. Since then, we have been working on cleaning up the legal structure and finalizing the asset transfers. We have wrapped up all legal activities, and we fully own US Patent 10,325,030 (“Durable multiversion B+-tree”). @supabase is making this Patent explicitly available to all Oriole users (including proprietary forks) in accordance with the open source license. Oriole benchmarks show that it is around 5.5x faster than the default storage engine (Heap):

Supabase dashboard lets you impersonate a user to ensure that you have properly set up your RLS policies. It even works in the SQL editor, which allows you to perform any query with the permission that the user has! Great for double checking you have nailed your RLS policies!
@StackOverflow Survey 2025 is out Database observations: → Postgres domination continues: grew a whopping 10% from last year. → MySQL continues to contract, but it's slow contraction and nothing alarming. → Redis also grew 10% despite the licensing debacle. Impressive. It overtook Mongo as the 5th most popular database. Valkey made an entrace with 2.5% → Mongo steady at ~24%. Small contraction only - less than I expected tbh. → Oracle grew from 10.1% to 10.4%. How do they keep growing?! → Elasticsearch grew 5%. Nice bump. → DuckDB doubled to 3.2% → Clickhouse nowhere to be seen ... must be a mistake → Supabase grew from 4.1% to 6%. We're now in the Top-12. Thanks for all the support [All observations are for the "Professional Developers" segment]
we shipped 4 new security features in @supabase: ◆ you can Enforce MFA in your orgs ◆ enforce private channels in Realtime ◆ disable/mute rules in the Security Advisor ◆ centralized security docs enjoy 🔒

The Supabase mosh pit at AWS Summit Sydney last week 💥 Was it the pull of young Alastair or just that Supabase has a real following? (Probably both.) Heard more than once: “Shiiiiiit… Supabase?! I love you guys!” One person even high-fived me 😂 When you focus on product + dev experience, you don’t just get users, you build a cult. Massive thanks to everyone who came by and to @AWSCloudANZ for having us! 🫶
