Some additional feedback: In my opinion testing RLS is a problem.

Additionally, I find it hard to keep a good overview over the rules. E.g., in a multi-tenant application one needs to secure every table with a restrictive rule, and it's easy to make a rule permissive, since that is the default & it's not indicated in the Studio UI.

When generating migrations with 'supabase db diff' views are being recreated without 'WITH (security_invoker)' even though they had security_invoker turned on before, leaving your database exposed. Easy to miss, even when you're aware of that.

RLS is just so full of footguns that I find it hard to justify using it in a production system.

(But otherwise I love Supabase! Great job.)
