What is Supabase?

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.

The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.

What is Warp?

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.

◆ Current state

The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.

◆ Where it's heading

Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.

◆ Prediction

Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

◆ Current state

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

◆ Where it's heading

The sequence is deliberate: launch Factories as the infrastructure layer, launch the Agent CLI as the execution unit, then ship Benchmarks as the feedback mechanism that closes the improvement loop. The 'crawl, walk, run' adoption framing suggests Warp is in active go-to-market mode — the guides and thought-leadership posts are sales motion, not product changes. The next gap to fill is deeper observability into what the factory is actually doing at each stage.

◆ Prediction

The next concrete product move will likely be scheduling or orchestration tooling within Factories — the benchmarks surface tells you which configuration is best, but there's no way yet to trigger factory runs on a schedule or in response to events without re-configuring manually. CI trigger integration is the obvious next step.
