What problem does it solve?
Supabase provides a Backend-as-a-Service that enables rapid app development, but teams often struggle with integrating edge functions, authentication, real-time data, and policy enforcement in a secure, maintainable way.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Edge Functions & TypeScript: Guidance on using edge functions without runtime conflicts between Deno and Node environments.
- Client Setup & Auth: Best practices for initializing the client, managing sessions, and persisting auth state.
- Real-time & Data Fetching: Recommendations for enabling real-time updates and efficient data queries with PostgREST and caching.
- Security & RLS: Instructions to securely implement Row Level Security, ensure migrations, and automate profile handling.
- Schema Integrity & Automation: Emphasis on schema synchronization, migrations, and automation for user provisioning.
Quick Start
Initialize the client in your project (for example, in src/lib/supabase.ts) and configure environment variables for SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, then enable RLS with initial policies.
