Supabase Storage Middleware

A scalable, light-weight object storage service. Read this post on why we decided to build a new object storage service.

• Uses Postgres as it's datastore for storing metadata
• Authorization rules are written as Postgres Row Level Security policies
• Integrates with S3 as the storage backend (with more in the pipeline!)
• Extremely lightweight and performant

Documentation

• API Docs
• Storage Guides
• Client library

Development

• Copy .env.sample to .env file.
• Change GLOBAL_S3_BUCKET and REGION to the name and region of a S3 bucket. If you just want to run the tests and not develop locally, you can skip this step because S3 calls are mocked in our tests.
• Copy .env.test.sample to .env.test. Your root directory should now have both .env and .env.test files.
• Set up your AWS credentials. Your user must have permissions to s3:PutObject , s3:GetObject, s3:DeleteObject in the bucket you have chosen.
• Then run the following

# this sets up a postgres database and postgrest locally via docker
npm run restart:db
# Start the storage server
npm run dev

Testing

Run npm test
