My Personal Feedback- and Wishlist

[psteinroe]

Hey,

this discussion only serves as my personal feedback board and wishlist where I track issues, thoughts and ideas that come up when working with supabase on a larger scale project.

Content for larger scale projects
Right now, most content is around hobby projects. It would be great to expand towards more sophisticated topics such as pg_tap, RLS, multi-tenancy, etc...

Seamless sql development for teams
I am really looking forward to the recently announced Postgres branching, but until then the team should invest into a smoother development experience with what is there

• Merge migration files cli#192
• Best case would be that every developer would have just a single migration file locally that applies the latest state from a remote project. Like a "clone" of the db.

pg_net

• How does pg_net fit into the overall supabase architecture? pg_net#73

Current State of Realtime
While its great to see how fast the team ships new features, everything around realtime feels a bit rushed. The DX on the product is by far the worst of supabase, and the new multiplayer features have been shipped without its basic postgres_change functionality being carried along properly. I am aware of an ongoing effort around realtime, but there are few things that are very frustrating, e.g. missing types or not updating the docker image in the cli.

• Improve and enrich exported types realtime-js#159
• Support more filters in addition to eq realtime#222
• rc-10: Realtime channel name cannot be random with Supabase CLI supabase-js#559

Queues / Webhooks

• Webhook / Queue Extension for Realtime realtime#299

Transparency + Self-Service with components and extensions

• Postgres Extensions Version Management #9226
• Supabase Components Version Management #9227

Alerts

• Security Alerts / Security Dashboard #9228
• “Hey, you need to upgrade soon” Alerts #9232
• Log-based Alerts, e.g. for slow queries #9231

Postgres as application server

• Support Markdown in generated Docs #9233
• Postgres Package Manager #9219
• App Marketplace #9220

Other

• State of Workflow RFC #9218
• Repository Structure #9234

thanks @psteinroe for taking the time to create all these and collate this list! 💚 I'm going through and flagging these with the relevant teams 👍
