[Glauber Costa @glcst]

I am delighted to announce that we have signed a deal with the nicest person I have met in my life, @kiwicopple , to join one of the fastest growing rocket ships I have seen in my infra career, @supabase.

Turso and Supabase fit perfectly together. Our cultures are similar, our obsession for developers is similar, and we're both committed to building the future of agentic databases together.

It is a happy day!

“don’t train your own model” is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof.

today, we’re excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data.

open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise.

with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai

bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns.

see what you can build with castform👇

Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation

In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception.

We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs.

On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

we are hiring a design engineer.

Yesterday we had an outage affecting all services in the us-east-2 (Ohio) region

We have published the post-mortem:

https://t.co/zc9k4tONyU

This post is an account of what happened, how it happened, and the concrete steps we are taking to make sure it does not happen again. We know you depend on Supabase to be reliable. We let you down in both reliability and communications.

I am grateful to every customer who reported issues, waited patiently, and provided feedback on how we can improve. We will make major structural changes to earn back your trust.

[Paul Copplestone - e/postgres @kiwicopple]

Today we had an outage that ran for 3h42m, affecting 4.92% of our customers. All systems in us-east-2 were affected.

I'm sorry to everyone affected. There is no good excuse - you trust us with your infra and we need to do better.

We already have mitigations in place and we're working on a post-mortem. We will post it in the next 12 hours.

[Supabase @supabase]

We have identified an increase of 500 errors in some US regions.

We are investigating the root cause of this incident. us-east-2 region isn’t receiving any network traffic at this point. We are also seeing some API request errors in other US regions, but not as high as us-east-2.

@brianyunmd @supabase @kiwicopple hey brian, i've sent a DM to dig more into the issues you're facing - we're here to help

[Supabase @supabase]

Today, we're introducing Vector Buckets.

A new storage option that gives you the durability and cost efficiency of Amazon S3 with built-in similarity search

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

Very impressed by @supabase's growth. For new startups, they seem to have gone from "promising" to "standard" in remarkably short order.

@robertogonzalva @stojaaan @__joellee__ hey roberto, we're having difficulty finding the ticket associated to your user - can you please dm me with your project ref so we can investigate further
