What is Supabase?

Supabase is reversing its biggest security default - public-schema tables no longer auto-exposed via PostgREST.

The headline shipping move is a deliberate change to Supabase's security posture: new projects can opt out of automatic Data API and GraphQL exposure for public-schema tables, with broader defaults flipping in May. Around it: an OAuth 2.1 compliance fix, an RLS Tester preview to make policy verification possible from the UI, and a steady drumbeat of platform improvements summarized in the monthly developer update.

What is SigNoz?

SigNoz puts its AI teammate Noz in front of every cloud user.

SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform shipping steadily across three fronts: an AI layer (the Noz teammate and an MCP server), broadened cloud monitoring, and core UX rebuilds for traces, alerts, and dashboards. The headline move this cycle is Noz reaching general availability for all cloud users, letting people investigate telemetry in plain English.

Supabase is reversing its biggest security default - public-schema tables no longer auto-exposed via PostgREST.

◆ Current state

The headline shipping move is a deliberate change to Supabase's security posture: new projects can opt out of automatic Data API and GraphQL exposure for public-schema tables, with broader defaults flipping in May. Around it: an OAuth 2.1 compliance fix, an RLS Tester preview to make policy verification possible from the UI, and a steady drumbeat of platform improvements summarized in the monthly developer update.

◆ Where it's heading

Supabase is rebuilding the security defaults that made it fast to start with but easy to misconfigure. Combine the no-auto-expose change with the RLS Tester preview and the direction is clear: the platform is moving from convention-based exposure to explicit, testable access control. The OAuth compliance fix and developer updates suggest steady investment in standards conformance rather than new product surface this window.

◆ Prediction

Expect the no-auto-expose default to apply to existing projects (with a long opt-out runway), and the RLS Tester to graduate from preview into the dashboard as a first-class panel. Continued breaking-change drumbeat tied to OAuth/OIDC compliance is likely.

6.3

SigNoz puts its AI teammate Noz in front of every cloud user.

◆ Current state

SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform shipping steadily across three fronts: an AI layer (the Noz teammate and an MCP server), broadened cloud monitoring, and core UX rebuilds for traces, alerts, and dashboards. The headline move this cycle is Noz reaching general availability for all cloud users, letting people investigate telemetry in plain English.

◆ Where it's heading

SigNoz is making natural-language investigation a first-class way to query telemetry, betting the AI teammate becomes the default entry point for users who don't want to hand-write queries. In parallel it keeps widening provider coverage—Azure VMs, App Services, Container Apps, and AKS now join existing AWS and Kubernetes support—and modernizing the UI panel by panel.

◆ Prediction

Expect Noz to gain deeper actions beyond investigation, and Azure coverage to keep expanding toward parity with the existing AWS and Kubernetes monitoring.
