Supercharge your apps with rpc and Supabase

RPC stands for remote procedure call. If you are not using it you are missing out on a huge amount of functionality within your apps.
In this video we go through what a remote procedure call is, why it is so useful and how it can enhance our apps. We look at how we are currently making use of rpc custom actions in Flutterflow and how Postgres extensions can help you beyond standard database functions.
If you have seen the videos on the channel, I use Supabase remote procedure calls all of the time, so I though I'd share why I find them so useful.
If you have not seen any of the other videos, you can go to the link below and there are plenty of examples of PostgreSQL code you can take and use in your own applications, along with the custom action code if you are in Flutterflow.

Looking forward to the HTTP video! I would like to learn how to send emails using custom actions

Will either be next week or the week after

Excellent. Can you do a tutorial to get extra fields from an additional supabase.users table?, like if we create a new table with extra field for the user, like age, firstname, lastname, country, etc etc. Now supabase doesn't allow to do any change to the table auth.user.

Could you make a video on how to get push notifications when an user recieves a new message?

[@rapidmvp]

It’s on the list👍

I managed to make it work with curl post api call. Any reason to do this with custom action over api call?

[@KaiCodingJourney]

Ohhh I see that you using the flutterflow api. And damn this is cool, I thought I can only do api call with Supabase edge functions, but the rpc is an easier and seems like really cool alternative, is it as secure?m as edge functions?

[@KaiCodingJourney]

Also email, thanks for mentioning it, I really looking forward to that tutorial!!! 😌

[@emiltevatrosyan6864]

@@KaiCodingJourney can you explain how are you doing edge function, or where can we find tutorial on it mate?
