Supabase Select 2026 Recap
Summary
Supabase announced a suite of new features at Select 2026, including native‑process local development, declarative schema files with pg‑delta migrations, a Compute platform for custom services, an MCP server with auth‑aware middleware, and scaling upgrades like Multigres HA and the OrioleDB storage engine. These changes aim to make Supabase more code‑first, observable, and ready for large‑scale p…
- Local Supabase CLI can run as native processes without Docker, allowing multiple instances per repository.
- Declarative Schemas 2.0 stores SQL schema and config in code; pg‑delta generates migrations automatically.
- Supabase Compute lets you run arbitrary services in a full Linux environment next to the database (private alpha).
- The new MCP server and middleware expose authenticated user context to agents, enforcing RLS policies.
Engineers building or operating Supabase‑backed apps should know these features to streamline development, improve observability, and plan for production‑scale deployments.
