A Postgres database for every GitHub branch 🤝 GitHub branching strategy best practices

[@Supabase]

Keep up with everything we are launching here: supabase.com/launch-week?

[@dshukertjr]

This is what everyone has been waiting for!

[@thorwebdev]

The GitHub for Postgres, amazing work! 💪

[@antonkouliavtsev2501]

Awesome! I was really looking forward to this one. :)

[@JonMeyers]

Yeah, I am so excited! It also unlocks some pretty amazing things for the future! of Supabase! 🚀

[@eez]

this is awesome... game changer ..thanks for the demo.

[@JonMeyers]

Absolute game changer! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌

[@maloxi1472]

I'd love to see this kind of integration with Cloudflare Pages 😲

[@JonMeyers]

That would be awesome! 💯

[@JonMeyers]

Branches can still be created manually. The Vercel integration just automates the process! 🚀

[@dnlmgwi]

Supabase!

[@JonMeyers]

This is only the beginning! 🚀

[@StefanRows]

You should have mentioned that Database Branching is only available on the Pro Plan :)

[@nikhilpsathyanathan]

This is cool. What happens if there is a migration error?

[@tananga_studio]

Good but who creates features right from the PRODUCTION branch? Can you show us normal workflow like DEV, QA, PROD?

[@bnssoftware3292]

Would be really helpful if you did a tutorial on how to build a Dashboard and Customer management portal similar to what you see in Supabase.

[@rodrigomansuelinunes1285]

Let's branch it out!

[@supa_olirice]

this is awesome 🚀

[@cheapliquor4530]

This is great! Does this feature also covers changes to Edge Functions, or only to the Database?

[@ShadowsPowerFy]

Is it posibble to use this without running supabase locally? So i dident have to make migrations.

[@dustinramsay]

Deeply needed, thank you! How do you recommend managing migration files? Would you recommend clearing out the migrations folder on a regular basis or are they necessary to track the history of DB changes?

[@jeremytenjo]

wow

[@JonMeyers]

I know, right?

[@AnindoSarker]

exactly what I was looking for.

[@ThomasSselate]

Vercel creates preview links for commits, branches, PRs... Will all these work ? What if there are no new migrations, will it create a branch anyway, or connect to the main one ? Does the branch live as long as the Vercel preview ?

[@caseyspaulding]

Holy S***! Awesome. Thank you.

[@tananga_studio]

Great. I wonder how it can work with mobile apps especially Flutter.

[@peteredmonds1712]

How about Supabase Functions? Could I set up a new endpoint, perhaps a postgres trigger, and have it deployed in a preview env?

[@Supabase]

Yup, as long as you include the function definition in the migration file, it will be available in the preview branch!

[@peteredmonds1712]

@@Supabase Hmm okay. Will that newly added edge function (or any changes to existing functions) also modify my production environment, or are function changes local to that preview environment? If so, how does supabase resolve endpoints in different preview environments?

[@dave_m98]

How do I make a .supabase folder? Is it like all my supabase configurations I looked online but couldn't find anything. Great video, by the way!

[@JonathanSummersMuir]

Have you been using the CLI to make migrations already? if so, you probably already ran `supabase init` which means you already have a ./supabase directory in your repo. Branching will use the same directory and the same migration files. Also your seed.sql file will work as well.

[@awalias]

can't wait to spin up 100000000x branches

[@holycrimpsauce]

It’s a cool feature. But I don’t want to use Vercel personally. And work uses AWS.

[@JonathanSummersMuir]

Nice! How are you using AWS today?

[@JonMeyers]

Branches can be created manually - the Vercel integration just automates the process! 👍

[@amiranvarov]

so it is same thing that Prisma was offering in their migrations?

[@frnk_snslvdr]

so cool 🤯🤯🤯

[@davebenjamin4388]

when do you expect this to come out of alpha? there's currently a warning in your docs not to use this for production systems...

[@DeepakDonde]

It would be great if you slow down a little bit....
