Supporting supabase in posit connect / posit connect cloud

Supabase is a wonderful database service that is rapidly growing in popularity. I've mentioned before that posit connect (and posit connect cloud) would benefit tremendously from having the ability to support a database that can be shipped with other applications being hosted on connect. But with supabase already there, I feel like the better direction might be to simply add native support for supabase in the connect product.

Imagine if you could just add direct access to your supabase account (just like you can do with GitHub) and then create tables directly in posit connect? That would make a lot of things easier.

An immediate use case for me is my surveydown survey platform, which uses shiny to create interactive surveys. I use supabase as the data storage in the backend. We host our surveys on connect cloud, but the user has to do some configuration to get the supabase backend set up.

Whatever the integration might be, I'm just putting this here as a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion! A couple of related thoughts:
