Saxon FletcherandClaude Opus 5 32341830b3 docs: organize observability by task and move SQL logs to Explorer (#50074)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

Yes.

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Documentation update.

## What is the current behavior?

The observability overview and access page overlap; configuration
interrupts querying; related guides send log queries to the old editor.

## What is the new behavior?

The observability overview and navigation follow the same four sections:
Read project data, Detect and diagnose, Hire an agent, and Configure and
export. The overview absorbs the redundant access page, with permanent
redirects for both HTML and Markdown URLs.

“Query logs with SQL” owns ClickHouse querying through MCP, the
Management API, and Explorer with query source Logs. Logging
configuration moves to its own guide; sources, captured headers, and
limits live in the field reference. Inspection links to canonical
diagnostic SQL. Related Storage and database guides use the replacement
Explorer workflow and retain existing anchors where headings move.

## Additional context

Validation: Markdown generation, docs typecheck, targeted ESLint,
formatting, and content-listing tests. Browser overview/navigation
checked; old HTML and Markdown URLs return 308, and the new
configuration page returns 200 in both formats. Three ClickHouse
examples and the Postgres configuration query ran in a disposable
container sandbox. Changed pages have no MDX lint violations;
repository-wide existing failures remain.

Self-review: the Management API request was verified against its
published schema but not sent to a hosted project. Realtime ingestion
and hosted logging configuration still need a hosted smoke check. No
compatibility path for the deprecated logs engine is documented.

Stage 2 of 3; depends on stage 1.


Stack: #50073 → #50074 → #50075.

Production docs build also passes at the stack tip after standard
reference generation.

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.

Architecture

  • 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.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

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.
