Miranda Limonczenko 7bec687917 docs(auth): regroup the SSR client guide and cut repetition (#50287)
## Problem

`_partials/auth_methods.mdx` was included six times in this one page.
Radix unmounts inactive tab panels, so a browser reader sees it three
times on the default Next.js view, and the generated markdown that
agents read contained all six. That was about 25% of the 33.5 KB export,
and it put the same `Summary of the methods` heading in the table of
contents three times over.

The page is also 900+ lines with no intro outline, the per-framework
recaps were `h2` inside an `h2` section, and six of the nine panels had
no step headings at all.

## Solution

- Include the auth methods partial once, under a new `Choosing an auth
method` section grouped with `Caching considerations`, and point to it
from the procedure. This follows the mixed information types rule in
`apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Add an intro outline linking the section groups and saying when to
read the two reference sections.
- Demote the eight in-tab `Congratulations` headings to `h3` so they
nest under `Create a client`.
- Add a `Create the Supabase clients` heading to Astro, Remix, Nuxt,
React Router, Express, and Hono, and the recap Hono was missing.

No claims changed here, only placement.

## Manual testing

1. Open the [SSR client
guide](https://docs-git-docs-ssr-client-structure-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/server-side/creating-a-client)
on the deploy preview. The table of contents lists `Summary of the
methods` once.
2. Select each of the five links in the intro paragraph. Each one
scrolls to its section.
3. Select each framework tab. Every panel has a step heading and a
recap.

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.
