Supabase Overview#

Supabase is a real-time backend-as-a-service that provides developers with a suite of tools to quickly build and scale their applications. It offers database storage, authentication, instant APIs, and real-time subscriptions. With the Supabase API, you can perform CRUD operations on your database, manage users, and listen to database changes in real time. When integrated with Pipedream, you can automate workflows that react to these database events, synchronize data across multiple services, or streamline user management processes.

AltText.ai Overview#

AltText.ai provides an API that leverages artificial intelligence to generate alternative text (alt text) for images, which is crucial for web accessibility and SEO. With AltText.ai, you can automate the process of creating descriptive, keyword-rich, and meaningful alt text for images on websites, blogs, or online stores. In Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events to send images to the AltText.ai API and receive alt text, which you can then store or apply to your content management system automatically.
