FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real-time application with Supabase?

Real-time applications with Supabase use PostgreSQL's native change tracking and WebSocket subscriptions. Configure real-time listeners on tables or specific columns to stream live updates to connected clients, enabling chat, notifications, and collaborative features without polling.

Can I use Supabase for authentication and authorization in my app?

Supabase provides built-in authentication with JWT, social login, and multi-factor options. Row-level security (RLS) policies enforce authorization at the database level, ensuring users access only their permitted data automatically across all queries.

How do I implement vector search and embeddings in Supabase?

Vector search in Supabase leverages pgvector extension for semantic search. Store embeddings as vector columns, then query using similarity functions to find related documents or content without separate vector databases.

What's the best way to handle file storage and retrieval in Supabase?

Supabase Storage provides S3-compatible object storage with fine-grained access control via RLS policies and signed URLs. Link storage buckets to your PostgreSQL database for organized, secure file management integrated with auth.

How do I deploy serverless functions with Supabase?

Supabase Edge Functions run TypeScript/JavaScript on Deno globally with low latency. Deploy functions for webhooks, background jobs, or API extensions without managing servers, triggered by HTTP requests or database events.

Do I need to write SQL migrations to set up my Supabase database?

While Supabase supports schema changes through the dashboard UI, SQL migrations provide version control and reproducibility. Use migrations with PostgreSQL syntax for tables, indexes, RLS policies, and extensions to track database evolution.
