The Oriole team are joining Supabase to build a faster storage engine for Postgres.

Supabase is often described as an open source alternative to Google's Firebase ... which is a pretty good way to put it for those who know what Firebase is. Create a project, and Supabase will give you a Postgres database; an API for interacting with said database that automatically evolves (and documents itself!) as your database changes; a user authentication system that plays friendly with the popular login providers (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, etc.); a storage system for handling things like image and video uploads; and a UI for overseeing and managing it all. Supabase is free for hobby projects (or when you just want to tinker with it).
