is this bad?
Hi @User, that looks wrong..can you send the project ref to me or via the feedback widget?
f
uuhhh
project ref?
e
the api URL
or the url of the dashboard
where you see this graph
f
OH
yea one second
i think thats right
e
thanks
f
why does it look wrong?
is it too much?
e
oh wait there might be no bug here
didnt look close enough
usually api requests = auth requests + storage requests + realtime requests etc
f
oh so its not too many?
im not stupidly unoptimized? :P
e
i initially thought auth requests > api requests which shouldnt happen
but the number of requests itself looks okay
f
but like, im not making too many requests?
a
It's normal to reach that number, @User. Especially in dev + prod environments
f
so my numbers are normal?
a
Yes. There shouldn't be any technical issues regarding your project, unless that number of APIs didn't come from you or your app using Supabase.
f
alrighty
firebase made me super self conscious because i was making a chat website
and just in testing it
firebase was like
"hey yo, you made like, 100k requests, we need you to upgrade your plannnnnn. thhaanannnkkssss"
(it wans't 100k requests)
a
API requests on Supabase are unlimited.
so it doesn't even matter how big my number is
e
nope..we have people making millions of reuests a week..that shouldnt be an issue
a
You shouldn't worry about that much unless the pricing plans changed. Which they will probably notify you about it if it ever happens.
f
as long as im not hitting a qouta of some sorts that will throttle me
the way the plan is right now is good for me as i make ZERO money off my projects to support a priced plan
a
If you surpass some limits on your current plan, the supabase support team will reach out and discuss for future upgrade if needed. Rest assured!
f
my project im working on right now i hope to make a little bit of profit off of (mostly donations i think)
how chill is the supabase team? like, if surpass limits and i can't yet afford a paid plan just yet but my project is super dope, can they be lenient?
a
There is a grace period before you have to pay for an upgrade if you went over the limits
This should help
You can check out the full FAQs and information about pricings here: https://supabase.io/pricing

we'll make alterations to these charts so they are categorised and become a bit more obvious what they are actually representing - for instance that 'api requests' label is not very useful if nobody can tell what it means 😄
f
im just scared.. i've never successfully started a proper website before (one that is actually used professionally or makes any profit at all (of any type)), i understand the limits are kind of high and there are no api limits but im afraid that i might hit a limit of some sort and need to upgrade before im making any profits
a
As long as you're fine-tuning your app frequently and make reasonable uses of Supabase's APIs. You shouldn't have any problem for scaling. Even with millions of requests per day.
f
see thats the problem, idk what optimized is in this sense
im trying so hard to get this site up and working, functional, so i can actually start my career with it, im having trouble focusing on other topics and (i forget the word), like making sure im doing things the right way with my API requests, i think i am but who knows
im doing everything by myself
j
we are keen to surface warnings regarding usage in the dashboard app, adding some charts for you folks was the first step to this - I think your right in terms of maybe we can put things in perspective, it could be good to know for projects to see at a glance wether they are very lightly using their project vs a project that is exceeding soft limits. it probably doesn't help that our charts have a y axis based on your highest data point, which probably looks a bit confusing.
f
did i just accidently suggest changes to usage reports?
a
Some generated analysis would be helpful too. If that's on the team roadmap.
j
don't worry, we take feedback from everyone @User 😄
f
on a different note from usage statistics, would either of you be up to reviewing my webapp briefly and possible give me feedback on whether or not im doing this whole "startup" thing correctly?
i have a trello board set up and i've been trying to update it and such every so often but its hard to keep track of when im working on the site
i figured with my code that i get it working for now, get everything functional, then refactor and so on, later
but idk, i feel like im just patching this thing together
;_; i guess yall are busy
a
Hey @User, a startup is gonna be harsh if you are doing it on your own. Consider finding some partners on the ride. They would help you build your product and give some good feedback on it as well.
f
i can't pay them though
who'd want to do work for me for free?
u
I too want someone to work for me to free, but sadly can't find one
a
You don't have to pay them with money, maybe the shares of the company can work it out pretty well.
u
maybe will never find one
a
It will give them some motivation too.
f
:/
that sounds like a scam though
"hey, work for me and you get to be apart of the team who built this website"
u
want mee6 in this thread?
a
No. I meant company shares.
f
what do you mean? @User
u
cuz you dont get xp in this channe;
f
/rnak
u
@User
f
OOOF
oh
u
in
f
mee6 straight up got ganked
but yea
what do you mean company shares?
u
lol

This could provide you some information on that.
u
this may help Flyken to pay them?
f
i feel like i'll end up sounding like those scammers ;_;
@User i wish ;_;

a
This is needed for starting a startup.
I would say most if not all startups started there as well.
Including Supabase.
f
:/
but supabase has competent programmers doing the work
a
Hey, how about you take a look at how Google or Apple was founded. Maybe that will give you some ideas on starting your own startup.
f
i seen how apple was made
a
Of course they do, because they got funded from angel investors, big companies backing up, Y Combinators, ...
f
and facebook
0_0
angel investors?
we playing AdVenture Capitalist IRL now?
a
Please watch the video to get some basic information about how startup financing work first, @User.
f
aight, you still gonna be around in 10min?
because im gonna watch it now
a
I will be back in an hour.
f
oof
ok
holy shit
it REALLY IS ADVENTURE CAPITALIST
video is done
what i learned is that is a ton of shit to keep track of myself :l
