Strimzi vs Supabase: at a glance
What is Strimzi?
Strimzi's 1.2.0 candidate closes with a logging fix and nothing else
The 1.2.0 release cycle has reached its second candidate, and it is a small one: a single fix for incorrect CA logging on top of rc1. Everything substantive in this release landed in rc1 — Kafka 4.3.1 support, per-pod volume templates, and server-side apply now permanently enabled. This feed publishes only release candidates and never the finals, so an rc is the record of what shipped.
What is Supabase?
Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.

Strimzi's 1.2.0 candidate closes with a logging fix and nothing else
◆ Current state
The 1.2.0 release cycle has reached its second candidate, and it is a small one: a single fix for incorrect CA logging on top of rc1. Everything substantive in this release landed in rc1 — Kafka 4.3.1 support, per-pod volume templates, and server-side apply now permanently enabled. This feed publishes only release candidates and never the finals, so an rc is the record of what shipped.
◆ Where it's heading
Post-1.0 Strimzi is spending its cycles on how the operator manages Kubernetes resources rather than on new Kafka surface. ServerSideApplyPhase1 has gone alpha to GA and is now always on, and 1.2.0 changes install-time defaults toward Restricted Pod Security Standard security contexts and volume-mounted Service Account tokens. A second candidate carrying one logging fix says the cycle is converging rather than still absorbing change — the CRD v1-only requirement from 1.0.0 remains the loudest thing in every release body.
◆ Prediction
Expect 1.2.0 final shortly with no further candidates, and the next cycle to advance one of the open feature gates — UseBackgroundPodDeletion is the likeliest to move from alpha to beta.
Supabase

Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
◆ Current state
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
◆ Where it's heading
Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.
