I used to think the fly.io ones were good, but having read a good few of them I've found they follow the same repetitive structure: - Very light on detail (fly.io blogs are carefully written to *sound* like they're giving you detail, but in reality it's all a 50,000ft view, and…

Would you mind sharing specifics about the first bullet? What's the last post you read you thought could have gone deeper? We definitely want to go deep, some of our posts are better than others.

tbh you seem too focused on making HN happy, makes me wonder about your focus

I appreciate it. I do struggle with focus. Thank you for giving me a nudge.

fwiw Kurt, I love reading Fly.io posts. your "globally distributed postgres" post especially[0], which had plenty of depth and no sandwhiches

In his defense, HN is his target audience so making them happy is important too.

Supabase and Linear do deserve the hype IMO and Cloudflare still does. Stripe has gotten a bit more iffy for me, with some of their poor practices around frozen accounts

Cloudflare and Stripe have just reached that stage where there isn't much to hype about. They're now dealing with problems that are gnarly, as opposed to "we just launched a storage service!" Not to diminish Supabase, Fly, etc. and their tremendous work, it's just a completely different lane of expectations.

To me its more than just release new features and improvements (though Cloudflare could do well improving the speed around this a bit, a nice cadence around services and a public-ish roadmap would be ideal IMO).

More importantly, I think Cloudflare, Supabase and Linear are innovating and really nice to use, generally speaking[0]

[0]: they all have edge cases and what not, and sometimes failures, don't get me wrong

Supabase looks so good and keeps getting better. I started playing with it a couple months ago and could see myself loving it. One of my biggest problems right now is inertia: I’m comfortable with my existing tools (RDS, S3, lambda) and thinking about building a new product while also adding new tools is a tough pill to swallow. But the product sure makes a strong case! Resumable uploads is a big deal for what I’m wo…

That is the same inertia we see while selling to early stage company. I also see quite some people build out in supabase and migrate to AWS, especially if they want SOC2 or some compliance certifications. The Compliance automation tools work really well with known cloud providers.

Just as a note, Supabase received SOC2 Type 2 compliance last week (we've had Type 1 for a long time already) and now we're working on HIPAA.

Looking through the supabase storage docs, I wasn't able to identify if storing to local disk was an option? I know it launched with S3 as a supported backend, but I'm curious to know if this ever expanded.

Or perhaps supporting Minio as a backend, which I could run on the same machine.

Hello HN, Supabase Engineer here. This release brings resumable uploads to Storage. If you users are uploading large files or uploading from a mobile network, this improves the user experience by continuing the upload from exactly where it was interrupted. As a side benefit, you also get progress events exposed in a neat way. And we continue to use more of Postgres. We use it as a database to store object metadata, R…

>you also get progress events exposed in a neat way

Yes! :D

hey hn, supabase ceo here This release introduces a few new features to Supabase Storage: Resumable Uploads , Quality Filters, Next.js support, and WebP support. As a reminder, Supabase Storage is for file storage, not to be confused with Postgres Storage. Resumable Uploads is the biggest update because it means that you can build more resilient apps: your users can continue uploading a file if their internet drops o…

This is great - the caps on image size / mime type per bucket is super useful
