74c116de74 docs: add Multigres Public Alpha documentation — MERGE ON SEP 14, 2026 (#49020)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

This PR adds Public Alpha documentation for Multigres, Supabase's
multi-node Postgres high-availability integration. It introduces an
overview guide, a compatibility stub, Database sidebar navigation, a
Features table row, and a "What you get" card grid. ContentListings
items can now omit `href` so those cards are not forced to be links.

Linear: MUL-452.

~~🚨 **DO NOT MERGE UNTIL THE PUBLIC ALPHA GOES LIVE** 🚨~~ [@jhydra12
OK'ed merging, FYI]


## What is the current behavior?

- Linear item: Documentation for Multigres
- Production has no Multigres guides.
`https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/multigres` and
`https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility`
return 404
- The Database sidebar has no Multigres section
- The Features status table does not list Multigres
- ContentListings items required a link (`href` was mandatory)

## What is the new behavior?

- Overview guide at `/docs/guides/database/multigres` covering alpha
status, eligibility, enablement, and what is not included
- Compatibility stub at `/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility`
- Database sidebar: Multigres → Overview, Compatibility (after OrioleDB)
- Features table: Database / Multigres / `public alpha`
- "What you get" renders as three non-link ContentListings cards
- `href` is optional on ContentListings items; markdown export renders
unlinked entries when it is omitted

## Additional context

- Worktree:
~/GitHub/supabase/supabase-worktrees/nikrichers/mul-452-documentation-for-multigres-ready
- Branch commits: Initial Multigres docs draft; Edits (cards, copy, MDX
comments); merge master; spelling allow-list for Multigres, Vitess, and
sharding

- Verification:

| Preview compatibility                   | 200             |
| Production overview                     | 404 (expected)  |
| Production compatibility                | 404 (expected)  |
| `supa-mdx-lint` on changed MDX          | pass            |

cards

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
