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.

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.

This book is an absolute gem for anyone diving into Supabase! From start to finish, it provides a comprehensive and well-structured guide that goes beyond the basics.What truly stands out is the final chapter:"As we turn the last page of this guide, we're reminded that each topic covered opens a door to further exploration and learning." This sentiment perfectly captures the dynamic nature of Supabase and reinforces the value of the book as not just a reference, but a launchpad for deeper mastery. I now feel equipped with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the world of Supabase like a pro.Highly recommended for anyone serious about building production-grade applications with Supabase!

It has been a joy to get 🦄 David Lorenz book, Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabase. Before being asked to review it, I hadn’t heard about Supabase or how it could be of use to me in my profession—I’m a full stack .NET Engineer—but after reading the first few pages, I realized that this was a technology that I could use on personal and professional projects.What I particularly love about this book is how it starts. It doesn’t go right into the how but it starts with the “what” and “why”: What is Supabase? Why do I need it? And the “what” wasn’t merely a textbook definition. Lorenz walks readers through the foundation of Supabase and what it is at its core. This is especially meaningful to me because it hard for me to understand subjects and concepts without grasping its building blocks. So, after the first section, I was fully bought in and excited to see how I could implement this into my own project because, right now, and don’t tell anybody this but, I’m using a data file to populate the data on my CV site 😭. Ok maybe it’s not that bad but this book is a Godsend because I now have an easy way to implement a data layer with all the fixins.Another reason I enjoyed this read is because the examples are easy to follow and you can tell that he is aware enough to future proof this book so that it can be a helpful resource in years to come.And for all you Next.js/React.js lovers out there, his main example(s) is/are done using a Next.js project. Also a plus for me because my site is a Next.js app.I definitely recommend this book. A small price for a large investment.
