Okay, this Supabase video about JWT Signing Keys and API Keys is seriously worth checking out. It’s all about improving security and performance, which is music to my ears as I dive deeper into AI-driven workflows. Essentially, they’re replacing the old Anon and Service Role keys with more granular API keys and introducing asymmetric JWTs. This means your app can verify users locally without hitting the Supabase Auth Server every time, which is huge for speed.
Why is this valuable for someone like me transitioning into AI coding and no-code? Well, think about it: many AI-powered apps need secure and fast authentication. These changes streamline that process. I can see using these API keys to lock down specific microservices or AI agents, ensuring they only access what they’re supposed to. Plus, the JWT signing keys mean I can potentially offload authentication logic to the edge, further improving response times for AI-driven features.
Honestly, this video is inspiring because it highlights how traditional backend bottlenecks can be solved with smart architectural changes. Experimenting with these new Supabase features feels like a natural extension of my AI/no-code journey, allowing me to build more secure, scalable, and performant AI-powered applications. I am thinking of ways I can use this with llama-index and langchain.net. Definitely worth a weekend project!
