Hi, when are Supabase Functions expected to be released?
I'm quickly reaching a point in my project where direct DB calls don't cut it and I don't want to muck about with PG functions especially since I'm familiar with other programming languages. :(
Some suggestions:
Using Supabase took me 5x the amount of time it should have taken me, honestly.
1. There needs to be more official snippets, PG especially. Create view, modify table, change constraints, and so on.
If I'm your target demographic, it pays to watch issues raised/FAQs and integrate it in the UI.
For example, I'm not very familiar with SQL and PG features. I had to learn the hard way that RLS does not apply to views.
Basic for someone who knows DBs? Maybe. But I'm someone who wants to ship my product and my expertise is elsewhere.
Would have loved to see this info in the UI.
2. Some things are just so hard to find! I spent a lot of time looking for something so simple. I think it was views? And also something under user authentication, I don't remember.
Maybe you would benefit from user research - get a dev who hasn't used Supabase before, watch them build something with this and then address pain points.
- kiwicopple 5y agoThanks for the feedback. Extra snippets are a great idea, especially with Row Level Security which is a bit harder to google for. > when are Supabase Functions expected to be released? We’re doing another Launch Week starting on Monday next week. You will enjoy Thursday’s launch

- xdanger 5y agoI learned so much about postgresql and RLS from postgraphile starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter/blob/main/%40app/db/migrations/committed/000001.sql https://github.com/graphile/starter/blob/main/%40app/db/migr... also the project is worth checking out ;)
