Techniques for Connecting to a PostgreSQL Database with StepZen and Supabase

PostgreSQL has become the open source database of choice for many developers. Today there are a variety of providers that make it easy to deploy and host PostgreSQL on their platform. Supabase is an open source alternative to Firebase that utilizes PostgreSQL along with other popular open source tools like PostgREST and Kong.

In this stream, Anthony Campolo and Paul Copplestone will walk through how to setup a database on Supabase and how to use a GraphQL schema and StepZen to interface with that database. StepZen's custom directives allow developers to connect to the RESTful endpoints generated by PostgREST or make SQL queries directly into the database.
