**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Supabase announced product updates, platform improvements, and community resources released during January 2022. The platform expanded authentication options by adding Notion and LinkedIn OAuth support alongside Vonage and Textlocal SMS providers for one-time passwords. Observability tooling gained SQL querying capabilities for logs, timestamp filtering, and expanded time spans across project usage charts to accelerate issue diagnosis. Database infrastructure advanced with the release of pg\_graphql version 0.1.0 introducing SQL Comment Directives, while PostgREST replaced pg\_listen with built-in schema reloading and automated compute-based connection pool scaling. To streamline customer assistance, a priority selector was added to dashboard support forms with urgent tiers for paid projects.

## Context

Developers using Supabase required expanded third-party authentication methods, enhanced log diagnostics, preliminary GraphQL schema configuration, and faster response times for critical support issues.

## Approach / What changed

Supabase integrated new OAuth and SMS providers, introduced SQL querying and timestamp filtering to platform logs, launched pg\_graphql v0.1.0 with Comment Directives, enabled ticket priority selection on support forms, and updated PostgREST schema reloading and connection pool scaling.

## Takeaways

- Supabase added Notion and LinkedIn as OAuth providers, along with Vonage and Textlocal for SMS OTP token authentication.
- pg\_graphql v0.1.0 introduced Comment Directives to customize generated GraphQL schemas directly via SQL comments on database objects.
- PostgREST removed pg\_listen in favor of built-in schema reloading and configured database connection pool sizes to scale with compute size.
