Supabase Beta August 2022

Summary

Supabase’s August 2022 Beta Update recaps Launch Week 5 releases, the Supa Hackathon, platform changes, migration resources, and community contributions. The release set includes Supabase CLI v1 with TypeScript type generation, the Management API Beta for programmatic project and organization control, and the supabase-js v2 release candidate with type support, new authentication methods, an async Auth overhaul, and Edge Functions improvements. Supabase also announced SOC2 compliance and made Realtime Presence and Broadcast available to all projects, alongside Vault, Auth UI, dashboard permissions, JSON schema validation, pg_graphql v0.4.0, and MFA early access. From September 11, HTTP API requests will redirect to HTTPS, and clients no longer need to send anon or service keys in the apiKey header; client-library users require no change.
