## Problem When a project is paused, in a failed state, or about to be deleted, users have no obvious way to take a logical backup of their data before proceeding. This is particularly risky at deletion time — once deleted, data is gone. ## Solution Introduce a new `LogicalBackupCliInstructions` component that surfaces ready-to-run `supabase db dump` commands pre-filled with the project's direct connection details. ### Where it appears | State | How | |---|---| | Project paused (restorable) | Inline in `ProjectPausedState` with a note to resume first | | Pause failed | Dialog via "Download backup" button when no backup is available | | Restore failed | Dialog via "Download backup" button when no backup is available | | Delete project modal | Inline in `DeleteProjectModal` for all plans | Not shown in `PauseDisabledState` (project paused 90+ days, compute stopped — `pg_dump` would fail anyway). ### What the component does - Fetches the project's direct connection settings via `useProjectSettingsV2Query` - Builds a connection URI with a `[YOUR-PASSWORD]` placeholder (password is never stored or displayed) - Shows three shell commands to dump roles, schema, and data separately — mirroring the [logical backup docs](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/backups) - Optionally shows a **Reset database password** button (gated on `UPDATE projects` permission); shown in the paused state, hidden elsewhere via `showResetPassword={false}` - Includes inline guidance to percent-encode special characters in the password ### Shell safety The generated `--db-url` values are wrapped in single quotes to prevent shell metacharacter expansion when users paste and run the commands. `npx supabase login` is intentionally omitted — the `--db-url` flag authenticates directly against Postgres and does not require a Supabase account. ### Backup button behaviour in failed states The "Download backup" button in `PauseFailedState` and `RestoreFailedState` now always stays enabled: - **Backup available** — downloads immediately (unchanged) - **No backup / physical backups** — opens a dialog with CLI instructions instead of silently failing ## How to test **Delete project flow** 1. Open any project → Settings → General → Delete project 2. Verify the CLI backup section appears with the project's host, port, user, and db name pre-filled 3. Verify no Reset database password button is shown **Paused project** 1. Open a paused project (`ProjectPausedState`) — verify CLI instructions appear with the "Your project must be resumed before running these commands." note 2. Open a project paused for 90+ days (`PauseDisabledState`) — verify CLI instructions do not appear **Failed states** 1. Simulate a pause-failed or restore-failed state 2. If a downloadable backup exists — "Download backup" downloads it directly 3. Block the backup API or use a project with physical backups — "Download backup" should open the CLI instructions dialog **Error state** 1. Block the project settings API call (DevTools → Network → block request) 2. Verify an error message appears with a link to Database settings 3. Verify a loading skeleton shows while the request is in flight --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
- postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
- Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.
Client libraries
Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
