Feature status#

Supabase Features are in 4 different states - Private Alpha, Public Alpha, Beta and Generally Available.

Private alpha#

Features are initially launched as a private alpha to gather feedback from the community. To join our early access program, send an email to product-ops@supabase.io.

Public alpha#

The alpha stage indicates that the API might change in the future, not that the service isn’t stable. Even though the uptime Service Level Agreement does not cover products in Alpha, we do our best to have the service as stable as possible.

Beta#

Features in Beta are tested by an external penetration tester for security issues. The API is guaranteed to be stable and there is a strict communication process for breaking changes.

Generally available#

In addition to the Beta requirements, features in GA are covered by the uptime SLA.
