Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabase

Unveiling the Inner Workings of Supabase and Introducing the Book’s Project

In 2000, I started playing around with HTML, which had been around for 10 years at the time. Google, which was then only two years old, was already becoming popular. Back then, the internet was slow and expensive, and my connection was a snail-paced 56 Kbps, miles behind today’s lightning-fast 1 Gbps, which is 18,000 times faster.

However, it was a great time to start with web development as the field wasn’t overly complex. Making dynamic websites typically meant using PHP and MySQL, and things such as “JavaScript Frameworks” did not even exist yet. At that time, authentication was simpler but not very secure, and HTTPS (which is represented by the padlock icon in your browser) was rare. To log in, you had to enter a username and password on a website, and the server created a session cookie to connect you to your account on the backend.

Fast forward to today, when starting...

Technical requirements (and some preamble)

This chapter contains code samples. However, you don’t need to remember them, as they simply serve the purpose of helping you understand the context of what’s explained better. Just expose yourself to their meaning and let go of trying to map it to a real implementation.

In the upcoming chapters, the code will be real code samples, which can be found, sorted by branches, at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Production-Grade-Web-Applications-with-Supabase.

Now for the preamble. In this chapter, we’ll dive into why Supabase is the ideal stack for building exceptional applications and explore its internal architecture.

Don’t be intimidated by the length of this chapter—Supabase works seamlessly without you needing to remember all the details of this chapter. Approach this chapter like you would a novel: as something to read, enjoy, and have aha-moments with, rather than something that you...

Description

Discover the powerful capabilities of Supabase, the cutting-edge, open-source platform flipping the script on backend architecture. Guided by David Lorenz, a battle-tested software architect with over two decades of development experience, this book will transform the way you approach your projects and make you a Supabase expert. In this comprehensive guide, you'll build a secure, production-grade multi-tenant ticket system, seamlessly integrated with Next.js. You’ll build essential skills for effective data manipulation, authentication, and file storage, as well as master Supabase's advanced capabilities including automating tasks with cron scheduling, performing similarity searches with artificial intelligence, testing your database, and leveraging real-time updates. By the end of the book, you'll have a deeper understanding of the platform and be able to confidently utilize Supabase in your own web applications, all thanks to David's excellent expertise.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers looking for a hassle-free, universal solution to building robust apps using Supabase and its integration libraries. While a basic understanding of JavaScript is useful, it’s not essential as the book focuses on Supabase for creating high-performance web apps using Next.js. Experienced professionals from non-JavaScript backgrounds will find this book useful. Familiarity with Postgres, although helpful, is not mandatory as the book explains all the SQL statements used.

The book guides you through a beginner project, involving ticketing. Nothing you couldn't get for free on YouTube, or in a more affordable, and more complete format through a Udemy course.

Supabase is an open source alternative to firebase, I never tried it until I picked up this book. This book is helpful for beginners and more, it walks you through setting up projects and how to get the most out of them it even helps with setting up authentication features. I definitely recommend this book for those looking to ad more tools to the dev box. I also thought the ticket management system in chapter 3 was a great feature. Thanks for creating this book.
