The Dev Times #67

Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

Supabase Storage V3 - resumable uploads powered by Tus

Supabase Storage is receiving a major upgrade, containing many of the most requested features. A personal highlight for us, of course, is Supabase's new Resumable Uploads feature, which makes use of our very own Tus protocol. At Transloadit, we were naturally excited to see the Supabase team make use of Tus, as well as the creative solutions they used to scale Tus for their needs. As for the Storage V3 update, this isn't even all that was included: images can now be served using a simple Next.js loader, more image transformation options are available, presigned URLs can be generated and shared, and more. If you haven't already given Supabase a shot, now is the perfect opportunity! Dive in ›

Take a look as the PayPal team gives you a guided tour of the motivations and justification behind JunoDB. If you are already looking forward to exploring JunoDB further, stay on the lookout for upcoming posts that delve deeper into the technical details. Alternatively, if you are more of a hands-on learner, why not take a look at their server-setup video, and the accompanying client-building video? Learn more ›
