Great observation!

Glad to hear it!
> Can you say which of these new components will be open sourced?
All of these components are open source and licensed under Apache License v2.0.
> There are some other features (e.g. function hooks) that are also closed-source at the moment.
I actually worked on the initial implementation of function hooks. We've actually already open sourced both the client (see: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/88bcef91166959542820d9ee6e968577a3c96859/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Hooks https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/88bcef911669595428...) and the pg_net extension it requires (see: https://github.com/supabase/pg_net https://github.com/supabase/pg_net). I think we've yet to open source the SQL commands needed to create the schema, functions, etc. I'll talk to my team and we'll open source it.
> Is Supabase heading for an “open core” model?
I don't think so. We want to continue to open source our projects under either MIT (client libs) and Apache License v2.0 (server libs).
- zaking17 4y agoOn the function hooks, that would be awesome. I was just implementing some of those SQL commands. And I will look more at the realtime libraries to see the new stuff. Thanks for all the open code!!

I think it was more of an oversight on our part than intentionally choosing to keep it closed. > And I will look more at the realtime libraries to see the new stuff. Awesome! We have a lot of updates and better documentation coming in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned. > Thanks for all the open code!! You're very welcome and it's the least we can do!
- wenbo 4y agoWanted to follow up on this. I spoke to the team and just wanted to re-iterate that we will be open sourcing the SQL very soon.
