When the dashboard hits a DB connection timeout, users currently see a
raw error message with no
path forward. This PR adds an inline troubleshooting system that detects
known error types and
surfaces contextual next steps — restart the DB, read the docs, or debug
with AI.
## Changes
- New ErrorDisplay component (packages/ui-patterns) — styled error card
with a title, monospace error
block, optional troubleshooting slot, and a "Contact support" link that
always renders. Accepts
typed supportFormParams to pre-fill the support form.
- Error classification in handleError (data/fetchers.ts) — on every API
error, the message is tested
against ERROR_PATTERNS. If matched, handleError throws a typed subclass
(ConnectionTimeoutError
extends ResponseError) instead of a plain ResponseError. Stack traces
now show the exact error
class. All existing instanceof ResponseError checks continue to work.
- ErrorMatcher component — reads errorType from the thrown class
instance, does an O(1) lookup into
ERROR_MAPPINGS, and renders the matching troubleshooting accordion as
children of ErrorDisplay.
Falls back to plain ErrorDisplay for unclassified errors.
- Connection timeout mapping — first error type wired up, with three
troubleshooting steps: restart
the database, link to the docs, and "Debug with AI" (opens the AI
assistant sidebar with a
pre-filled prompt).
- Telemetry — three new typed events track when the troubleshooter is
shown, when accordion steps are
toggled, and which CTAs are clicked.
## Adding a new error type
1. Add a class to types/api-errors.ts
2. Add { pattern, ErrorClass } to data/error-patterns.ts
3. Create a troubleshooting component in errorMappings/
4. Add an entry to error-mappings.tsx
Supabase Studio
A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:
What's included
Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.
As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:
- Table & SQL editors
- Saved queries are unavailable
- Database management
- Policies, roles, extensions, replication
- API documentation
Managing Project Settings
Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.
How to contribute?
- Branch from
masterand name your branches with the following structure{type}/{branch_name}- Type:
chore | fix | feature - The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
- Type:
- When you send a PR to
master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review. - Review the contributing checklists to help test your feature before sending a PR.
- The Dashboard is under active development. You should run
git pullfrequently to make sure you're up to date.
Developer Quickstart
Note
Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal
infrastructurerepo.
# You'll need to be on Node v20
# in /studio
## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server
## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`
## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode
Running within a self-hosted environment
Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.
cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up
Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=
Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.
npm install
npm run dev
If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
