After managing more than 1 million databases, Supabase is finally Generally Available 🐘 https://supabase.com/ga I joined Supabase 3.5 years ago to help with the Beta launch. Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson had a huge checklist of things to run through before the launch. Feels surreal going through that now, but also our priorities for GA has pretty much remained the same - open source, stability, security and performance. Build in a weekend, scale to millions! After 3 years, I am can confidently say that Supabase is THE best place to host your Postgres database (and your entire backend). All the primitives you need to build your application (Auth, Storage, Functions, Realtime and a Vector Database) are built right in, seamlessly integrate with each other and with Postgres. Oh we also have a lot of interesting announcements planned for this week!

We've added Anonymous sign-ins to Supabase. This is one of our most requested features for Supabase Auth. Anonymous sign-ins can be used to create temporary users that haven’t signed up for your application yet. This lowers the friction for new users to try out your product since they don’t have to provide any signup credentials. It's really popular in shopping websites, where you build the "shopping cart" and then ask the user their details right at the end of the process. Check out the demo below and read the full details in our blog post: https://lnkd.in/ddUfMGes #auth #authentication

I have continued to see the tech sector's growth since I co-founded FinTechNZ in 2016. I had numerous conversations with the previous Government and spoke on TVNZ about the need for a coordinated effort, so I agree with Dr Claire Robinson. A good example is Open Banking, we have been talking about it for years but with no unified strategy, it has stagnated, until very recently. We know New Zealand has the capability, we have a number of companies "taking it the rest of the world" My view is that we need a technology task force with key stakeholders from each sector, technology, education, and others to unify the strategy. This allows the TT to discuss and create new strategies, products, and solutions to help resolve our generational issues and grow our underproductive economy, create jobs, attract investment, work with other educational providers to share IP, and create home talent. Like the UK we have concentrations of certain sectors in geographical locations, the one main difference is an overarching governance structure. I have spoken with Hon Judith Collins KC MP and Christopher Luxon about this concept, now It just needs to be brought to life, I am sure it would not take much to bring key stakeholders across the entire technology sector together if we all saw the "Big Picture" Would you want to be part of generational change for everyday kiwis? #timetobebold #technologyunification #NZTechnologystrategy2024andbeyond

Sounds like an internal primary or secondary index 'skew' between different systems (or just a bug). Can happen when restoring records to a database in live use when changing a schema, as the precise order that sets the foreign key mappings used by the other system will not match... This might even be a stale cache somewhere.. Hence why you should always use synthetic keys when maintaining a relationship between two distinct databases, never use internal primary or secondary keys, just asking for trouble... #databreach #australia #databases #integrity

Ouch, Google accidentally delete a massive customer, and all their backups!! The customer in question was a pension fund with $125bn under management. Can you imagine the impact on the 630,000 individual members left wondering if they had lost their money!! Talk about reputational damage! I've said this for years, a single vendor cloud strategy is a terrible idea, and this is a clear example why anyone in their right mind should avoid putting all their eggs in one basket. Reach out if you want to learn how to adopt a strategy which avoids vendor lock in, ensures regulatory compliance, and provides resilience against a vendor accidentally shooting your business in the head. https://lnkd.in/exiKgnVd

Chatbots – love them or hate them? I am a fan (obviously 😂)! However, we like to call them agents or assistants as they have evolved from the basic chat bubbles in the corner of websites into valuable assets that almost all businesses should have in the next couple of years. With ever-changing technology, my team and I spend our days teaching and training the new evolution of Gen AI "bots" in a business's tone of voice, aligning them with the brand, offerings, and assets such as knowledge bases to enhance self-service. This allows customers to handle simple repetitive tasks themselves, and even increasingly complex tasks like applying for accreditation or requesting quotes, resulting in a more positive experience when interacting with a business. We reverse-engineer the entire process of each step the "bot" takes to help the user reach their goal. We map out the needs of our customers and craft modern "bots" to ensure they can predict and adapt to conversations, understanding the visitor's intent and requirements. This supports users by quickly, efficiently, and engagingly solving their questions, problems, or processes they are trying to carry out. 🙌

As Australia’s No.1 Serverless Development & Google Cloud Consultants, it may come as no surprise to hear us talking up serverless. But there really are a lot of benefits, including lower costs and higher efficiency. For developers, serverless also releases them from those routine and menial tasks associated with app scaling and server provisioning, giving IT teams more time to consider strategies or apply other solutions! Additionally, Rob, our own lead data expert, says that going serverless is great for test environments – especially when doing major transformation pieces in a company. If this transition isn’t successful, then at least there will be no fixed infrastructure costs, thanks to serverless. 😀 #serverless #infrastructure #it #cloud #googlecloud #techteam #server #data #scaling #techlife #australianbusiness #costsaving #digitaltransformation

MongoDB has collaborated with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank to modernise its core banking infrastructure, leveraging MongoDB Atlas as a pivotal component in their comprehensive application modernisation strategy. This partnership achieved substantial milestones, including a 90% reduction in development time for migrating core banking applications from legacy relational databases to MongoDB Atlas, and completing the migration at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional approaches. The integration of AI-driven automation tools has further streamlined developer workflows, reducing the time required for running application test cases from over 80 hours to just five minutes, empowering developers to innovate more rapidly. In less than three months, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank successfully modernised its Agent Delivery System a legacy retail banking application on MongoDB Atlas. This transformation was facilitated by MongoDB Relational Migrator and AI-assisted modernisation tools. The Agent Delivery System serves as a retail teller application for the bank's agent branches, catering to communities where digital banking services are offered by non-bank entities such as newsagents or pharmacies.
