description: There are various ways to connect to your Postgres database.
---
Supabase provides two options for connection to your Postgres database:
Supabase provides several options for connection to your Postgres database:
- Direct connections.
- Connection pooling, using PgBouncer.

- Direct connections using Postgres' standard connection system.
- Connection pooling using PgBouncer.
## Direct connection vs Connection Pooling
## HTTP
Supabase provides an auto-updating API. This is the easiest way to get started if you are managing data (fetching, inserting, updating). However you cannot manage the database schema
via the API (for security reasons). To do that you can either use the dashboard we provide or connect directly to your database.
## Direct vs Connection Pooling
A "direct connection" is when a connection is made to the database using Postgres' native connection implementation.
