🏷️ Labels: Supabase, File_Processing, API, Python, Optimization
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to optimize file processing and metadata management within Supabase, addressing inefficiencies and errors in the current system.

Key Activities

• Identified and proposed optimizations for file processing workflows, focusing on deduplication and metadata tracking.
• Analyzed recursion and looping issues in Supabase file management, identifying causes and proposing fixes to prevent unnecessary file deletions.
• Debugged chunk uploads to Supabase, identifying reasons for failures and outlining systematic debugging steps.
• Handled recursive file event triggers by implementing batch processing to prevent redundant processing.
• Implemented a temporary solution for syncing the chunks table in Supabase using a Python script.
• Developed a generalized Python function for uploading JSON metadata to Supabase tables, including error handling.
• Tested Supabase API endpoints using Python scripts, focusing on logging requests and troubleshooting errors.
• Resolved a 400 Bad Request error in Supabase by diagnosing and fixing issues related to POST request payloads.

Achievements

• Successfully optimized file processing workflows and metadata management in Supabase.
• Resolved recursion and looping issues, improving system stability.
• Implemented efficient metadata upload functions, reducing unnecessary API calls.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing and validation of the implemented solutions to ensure robustness and reliability in different scenarios.
