Storage buckets

Storage buckets

- [Instructor] PostgreSQL is a great way of managing data in text or JSON format. But what if you want to manage images or videos? Supabase has an object storage system for this. Here in the storage section of Supabase, I have a bucket named my bucket, and another one named another bucket. Just like a bucket in Amazon Web Services S3, this bucket can receive files and store them as objects to be retrieved later. And just like tables in Supabase, you can configure the authorization to allow or disallow access to objects in the bucket using policies. All buckets and objects are tracked by Supabase in the storage schema. While you typically won't use this schema for managing objects, it can come in handy if you need to debug an issue. Supabase's storage system uses a common pattern of buckets and objects. Remember that just like with tables, you can control authorization using policies.
