Provision and manage services from the CLI
skybrian: [delayed]
tom1337: Nice idea, but I'd love a more open approach to this (or more support for OpenTofu / Terraform). This is just another vendor-locked-in way and might only work with selected platforms.Stripe has the incentive to add platforms that use Stripe as a payment processor so they can cash on the payment fees, they don't really have any incentive to add a platform that doesn't bring money to them (except affiliates are possible with this)
raulb_: Hi there! Developer at Supabase here. I'm happy to finally see live what I've been working on for the last two months. I'm excited to see that Stripe users can finally use Supabase services in a seamless way. For new Supabase users, there is no need to leave the CLI. One command, and you'll have a brand new Supabase account, including a new Supabase resource provisioned just for you. This means that you'll be able to not only use a PG database from the get-go, but it also comes with Storage and Authentication for free. I'm really excited to finally see this project come to light. More to come!
ChrisArchitect: Aside: did they really need to use that generic projects.dev domain? Maybe time for their own .stripe TLD or something
embedding-shape: Yeah, strikes me as unnecessarily braggy and wasteful; "Look, here's how much we can spend on vanity domains to showcase projects that probably we'll lose interest in within 2-3 years".> Maybe time for their own .stripe TLD or somethingHow about subdomains? Free and widely supported already, won't confuse anyone either.
stephenr: In the era of enshittification I can't really see the logic in tying a bunch of your infrastructure/services to the likes of stripe.Then again I also don't see the logic in asking spicy autocomplete to write code or provision services for you either.Maybe I'm just not the target market. I guess if you're spinning up 5 new toy todo list apps a week to show off how well you can talk to a predictive text engine maybe this is actually useful.
stephenr: It probably also doesn't make much sense to me because I see external services as something to use when we have to, not as default choice.When your application runs on VMs you control and just uses a payment gateway and an email gateway it's hardly a challenge to get the services setup.
colesantiago: Why does this need to be a CLI?I don't want to use a terminal, we should be moving away from this.I really hope this becomes just a button or a mobile app instead and not have to keep using terminals all the time.
