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, RLS policies for Authorization[1], the SKIP Locked feature for building a queue [2] and advisory locks for implementing a distributed locking mechanism [3].

Will be hanging around to answer any questions.
