Supabase Storage now in Beta
At Supabase, one of our core values is Kaizen - continuous improvement. And that's exactly what we've been doing with Storage since it launched three months ago. Today, we are launching the Sequel to Storage Alpha (I bet you didn't see that coming): Storage Beta!
Clients can use the Content-Range HTTP header to request specific parts of a file from a server. This allows them to intelligently download the parts of the video that a user is viewing, without buffering irrelevant sections of the media file. Supabase Storage now supports this header, making it easier to host and watch nyan cat videos all day long.
Public Buckets have been one of our most requested features. We launched without them because there are too many horror stories of S3 buckets unintentionally exposing objects. We wanted to take the time to implement safeguards against this.
To enable this feature safely, buckets are made private by default, with an extremely prominent warning in the dashboard when you choose to make them public.
