## Summary Clarifies on the database product page that a Supabase project can be used as a standalone Postgres database, and mirrors the change in the page's markdown version (`/database.md`). Ref: GROWTH-1191 ## Changes - **Hero and page metadata**: adds "Use it on its own, or with the rest of the Supabase platform." - **Features section**: intro reframed around the database. The "Just Postgres" card heading adds "standalone". - **`content/md/database.md`**: same sentence in the tagline. New short "Use it as a standalone database" section covering connecting, pooling, pricing, and Free plan pausing. Client libraries marked optional. Pooler naming updated to Supavisor. Links added for the connection guide and `pricing.md`. ## Notes - Pricing figures in the markdown mirror `packages/shared-data/plans.ts` and are static here. - The pausing statement matches `docs/guides/platform/free-project-pausing`. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Clarified that Supabase projects include dedicated, standalone Postgres databases. - Explained that databases can be used independently or alongside the Supabase platform. - Added guidance on connections, pooling, pricing, pausing, and optional client libraries. - Identified Supavisor as the pooling service and added relevant connection and pricing links. - **Content** - Updated database page messaging to highlight built-in security, realtime subscriptions, auto-generated APIs, portability, and no vendor lock-in. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

# Supabase Database
|
|
|
|
> Every Supabase project is a dedicated Postgres database, trusted by millions of developers. Use it on its own, or with the rest of the Supabase platform.
|
|
|
|
Supabase Database gives you a full Postgres database with no compromises. It is not a Postgres-compatible alternative or a shared cluster: every project gets its own dedicated Postgres instance that you can connect to directly with any Postgres client.
|
|
|
|
## Use it as a standalone database
|
|
|
|
You do not need any other Supabase product to use the database. Auth, Storage, Realtime, and Edge Functions are included in every project but optional. Unused products cost nothing.
|
|
|
|
- **Connect with anything**: standard Postgres connection string. Works with psql, Prisma, Drizzle, or any Postgres client or ORM.
|
|
- **Connection pooling**: Supavisor, with session and transaction modes.
|
|
- **Pricing**: the Free plan includes a 500 MB database. The Pro plan starts at $25/month and includes one Micro compute instance and 8 GB of disk. Current pricing: https://supabase.com/pricing.md
|
|
- **Pausing**: Free plan projects pause after 7 days of low activity. Paid plan projects do not pause.
|
|
|
|
## Key Features
|
|
|
|
- **Dedicated Postgres**: each project is an isolated Postgres instance, not a shared tenant
|
|
- **100% portable**: bring your own Postgres database, or export and migrate away at any time
|
|
- **Auto-generated APIs**: REST (PostgREST) and GraphQL (pg_graphql) APIs generated from your schema, no backend code needed
|
|
- **Table Editor**: spreadsheet-like UI for viewing and editing data, with support for relationships, JSON columns, and foreign key lookups
|
|
- **SQL Editor**: write and save SQL queries directly in the dashboard, with autocomplete and syntax highlighting
|
|
- **Row Level Security**: fine-grained access control using Postgres RLS policies, integrated with Supabase Auth JWTs
|
|
- **40+ extensions**: enable Postgres extensions with a single click (pgvector, PostGIS, pg_cron, pg_stat_statements, and more)
|
|
- **Database Branching**: create isolated database branches synced with git branches, with Vercel Preview support
|
|
- **Read Replicas**: distribute read traffic across replicas in multiple regions for lower latency and higher throughput
|
|
- **Realtime**: subscribe to INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and other changes via WebSockets
|
|
- **Database Webhooks**: trigger Edge Functions or external HTTP endpoints on table events
|
|
- **Supabase Pipelines**: move published Postgres data to supported analytical destinations in near real time
|
|
