Supabase PrivateLink is now available

Supabase has introduced Supabase PrivateLink, enabling secure database connections to AWS cloud resources over private networks, thus eliminating public internet exposure and reducing attack surfaces. This feature is particularly beneficial for industries with strict compliance requirements or those handling sensitive data, as it ensures database traffic remains within AWS infrastructure, mimicking the behavior of databases inside a user’s VPC. Utilizing AWS VPC Lattice, the implementation allows applications to connect via private DNS names, supporting direct Postgres connections and PgBouncer for connection pooling, with typically lower latency than public connections. Supabase PrivateLink is currently in Beta, requiring AWS environments, being limited to same-region database connections, and available for Team or Enterprise plan users, offering a straightforward setup process for those familiar with AWS networking.
