The key new feature is schema change support: Pipelines can now automatically detect and apply supported schema changes (adding, removing, renaming columns, and changing nullability/defaults) to the destination. Performance improvements include parallelized initial sync across and within tables, reduced memory usage, and lower replication latency. Google BigQuery is the first available destination for all paid plans. Pricing is usage-based at $0.053/hour per active pipeline, $0.60/GB for initial copy, and $3/GB for ongoing replication. A destination request form is open for ClickHouse, Snowflake, and DuckLake. The underlying engine is Supabase ETL, an open-source Rust-based CDC pipeline using Postgres logical replication. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What schema changes does Supabase Pipelines support replicating to BigQuery in public alpha? Supabase Pipelines in public alpha automatically replicates adding columns, removing columns, renaming columns, and changing column nullability and defaults from Postgres to the destination schema. Additional type changes and other table-level changes are still being worked on, and unsupported changes may require manual handling depending on the destination. _Track schema replication capabilities like these as you plan a Postgres-to-warehouse pipeline via daily.dev._ ### How much does Supabase Pipelines cost to run in public alpha? Supabase Pipelines charges $0.053 per hour per active pipeline, $0.60 per GB for the initial table copy, and $3 per GB for replicated data after that initial copy. A pipeline is billed hourly starting the moment it is created, even while replication is paused or inactive, and pricing may change during the alpha with advance notice. _Compare pricing details like these when weighing Postgres replication tools on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between Supabase Realtime and Supabase Pipelines? Supabase Realtime is built for live user experiences delivered over WebSocket, while Supabase Pipelines is designed for reliable, near real-time data movement from Postgres into analytical systems like BigQuery. Pipelines handles initial table copies plus streaming inserts, updates, deletes, and truncates via logical replication, keeping analytics workloads off the production database. _Weigh choices like Realtime versus Pipelines for your Postgres data needs on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Benchmarking dlthub: SQL copy from Postgres to BigQuery](https://daily.dev/posts/benchmarking-dlthub-sql-copy-from-postgres-to-bigquery-0ajdac09z) · dltHub · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [BigQuery connector for ClickPipes is now in Private Preview](https://daily.dev/posts/bigquery-connector-for-clickpipes-is-now-in-private-preview-ojepk0t07) · ClickHouse · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [New BigQuery Data Transfer Service Capabilities](https://daily.dev/posts/new-bigquery-data-transfer-service-capabilities-r6fszvjbc) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#postgresql](https://daily.dev/tags/postgresql), [#data-engineering](https://daily.dev/tags/data-engineering), [#supabase](https://daily.dev/tags/supabase), [#google-bigquery](https://daily.dev/tags/google-bigquery), [#change-data-capture](https://daily.dev/tags/change-data-capture) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-pipelines-is-now-in-public-alpha-voqqqnscz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Supabase Pipelines is now in Public Alpha","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-pipelines-is-now-in-public-alpha-voqqqnscz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-pipelines-is-now-in-public-alpha-voqqqnscz"},"datePublished":"2026-07-21T15:29:28.376Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:29:32.310Z","description":"Supabase Pipelines has moved to public alpha, enabling near real-time replication of Postgres data to external analytical systems.
