"You need to talk with more users" - heard it before? Connecting @meetgranola to @boltdotnew is hands-down THE FASTEST WAY I have ever implemented user feedback into a product 🏎️ Here's how 👇

When we needed SOC2 for Bolt, our team chose diligent vendors, and invested the necessary time & efforts to not just meet but exceed the bar Took more time than I would've liked, but such is the nature of good things Security for our customers is #1

Always choose diligence, even if it requires patience Shortcuts can get you ahead *now*, but nearly always set you back *later* True for startups (and life generally)
Ivan Burazin@ivanburazin

It took our compliance officer close to a year to get SOC 2 done. In the meantime, I saw even 3 month old startups getting it with ease. After a point I got frustrated: “Why the hell are we using @DrataHQ? Let's try these guys and get it done!" He kept saying “It's just not possible. Leave me alone, I'll get it done.” I was still furious but let him do it his way. It seems he was right after all.

This is the part Replit, Lovable, and Bolt should be losing sleep over. Google AI Studio now ships with the Antigravity coding agent built in, Firebase for auth and databases, and one-click Cloud Run deployment. The entire pipeline from “describe your app” to “it’s live on the internet with a working backend” runs inside one browser tab. Free tier. No credit card. The vibe coding startups charge $15-39/month and still require you to stitch together Supabase, Netlify, and two or three other services before anything actually works in production. Users on Bolt have reported burning $1,000+ on a single project when debugging cycles eat through token budgets. Lovable and Bolt both hit a complexity wall around 15-20 components where the AI starts losing context and making destructive changes. Google just bundled the entire backend those companies never built. This is the same playbook Google ran on email, maps, and cloud storage. Give it away free, make it the default, wait for the market to reorganize around your infrastructure. The vibe coding startups built better creation experiences. Google built the deployment layer those prototypes always needed. The gap Google is exploiting: every startup in this space built a great front door and a mediocre production experience. Google built a mediocre front door sitting on top of the best production infrastructure in the world. They paid $2.4 billion for the Windsurf team to fix the front door. The startups are still trying to build their own backend. One of those problems is easier to solve. And the company with 20+ million developers already on its platform gets to solve it with distribution the startups will never match.

Composer 2 marks the one-year anniversary of our large model training efforts. Since then, we've built an exceptionally talent-dense team of ~40 people with some of the best researchers and engineers from the labs, academia, industry, and more heterogeneous backgrounds. And we are exclusively focused on coding. We don't care about models that can respond to emails, do your tax returns, or be your friend. Every FLOP, token, parameter, and researcher is entirely dedicated to software engineering.

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

There are now 7M developers using @supabase Signups have been accelerating since the start of the year Our growth rate right now is as fast as it was during YC, except that we are doing it from a base of millions of developers instead of thousands
