+## We raised $30 million 
+
+Hot off the press, we raised our Series A. 
+We'll use the funds to do more of the same - ship features and hire open source developers.
+We'll release more details soon. Read more on [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/09/supabase-raises-30m-for-its-open-source-insta-backend/).

+
+## Realtime Security, codename: WALRUS
+
+If you've been waiting for Row Level Security to land in Postgres [subscriptions](https://supabase.io/docs/reference/javascript/subscribe), then you're going to love our new repo: [Write Ahead Log Realtime Unified Security (WALRUS)](https://github.com/supabase/walrus). The name might be a bit forced, but the the security design is deliberate. It's not in production yet, but we're making the repo public for comments using an [RFC process](https://github.com/supabase/walrus/blob/master/README.md#rfc-process).

+
+## Custom SMS templates
+
+If you're using SMS login in [Auth v2](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/07/28/supabase-auth-passwordless-sms-login), you can now customize the SMS which is sent to your users. Read more in the [docs](https://supabase.io/docs/guides/auth/auth-twilio#sms-custom-template).
+
+![Custom SMS templates](/new/images/blog/2021-august/custom-sms.png)
+
+## Dart and Flutter Docs
+
+Thanks entirely to [@dshukertjr](https://twitter.com/dshukertjr), we now have in-depth reference Dart documentation for CRUD, Auth, Realtime and more!

+
+## We launched the South Korea region
+
+we added another region for those wanting to host their data and APIs in Seoul. We now have 12 regions to choose from
+

+
+## Table creation is even easier
+
+You can now create columns while creating your table. We've also added improvements for composite primary keys and foreign key creation.
+

+
+## Unbreakable CSV Imports
+
+Our previous importer would choke on CSV files which were too large. Not any more!
+

+
+## Connection strings
+
+We now provide a handy copy utility for various database connection strings because we were so tired of looking them up on Stack Overflow.
+

+
+## We released a primer on Row Level Security
+
+RLS can be a bit foreign for developers getting started with Postgres. This video by [@_dijonmusters](https://twitter.com/_dijonmusters) demystifies it. If you find video a useful medium for learning, consider [subscribing to our channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNTVzV1InxHV-YR0fSajqPQ).

+## Community
+
+### We had a community Hackathon
+
+We held a one-week async Hackathon. Check out [all the winners](https://supabase.io/blog/2021/08/09/hackathon-winners) - it was truly impressive what people were able to build in just 7 days.

+
+### We had a team Hackathon
+
+The Supabase team didn't want to miss out on the fun so we held our own hackathon. It was a good way to dog-food. Some notable projects include

+- And it wouldn't be a Supabase hackathon without a high-effort meme entry.
+Check out [meme.town](http://meme.town) by [@Joshenlimek](https://twitter.com/joshenlimek) [[GitHub](https://github.com/joshenlim/meme-maker)]
