Supabase released automatic embeddings, a feature that automates embedding generation and updates within Postgres using SQL triggers and extensions like pgmq, pg_cron, and pg_net. This eliminates the need for separate external pipelines, reducing drift and complexity. Users can manage embedding jobs entirely in SQL, with support for any external inference API.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://supabase.com/blog/automatic-embeddings:

> Automatic embeddings move the vector generation step into Postgres. Not literally. Inference still happens via an external model, but the responsibility for coordinating that process becomes part of your database.
