samroseandArtur Zakirov 9946747579 docs(orioledb): update OrioleDB docs for public beta (#50813)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Don't merge until the OrioleDB public beta launches. Docs deploy on
merge.

## What

Updates the OrioleDB guide (`guides/database/orioledb`) for the public
beta:

- States that OrioleDB is in public beta and that OrioleDB projects have
access to the same paid features as other Supabase projects.
- Replaces the outdated "choose `OrioleDB Public Alpha` Postgres
version" instruction and its screenshot with text steps that match the
current project creation form (**Advanced Configuration** → **Postgres
Type** → **Postgres with OrioleDB**). It also notes that OrioleDB can't
be added to or removed from an existing project. A new screenshot will
follow once the dashboard shows the beta labels.
- Corrects the `orioledb.default_compress` range to `-1` to `22`. Values
outside that range are rejected.
- Updates the `EXPLAIN` output for the primary key lookup to match what
OrioleDB returns (`Custom Scan (o_scan)`).
- Replaces the benchmark chart's alt text with a description of the
chart.

Headings, frontmatter, and navigation are unchanged, so existing links
to this page and its sections still work.

## Checked against upstream OrioleDB

Checked the page's claims against the [OrioleDB
docs](https://github.com/orioledb/orioledb/tree/main/doc/usage) and
codebase on `main`:

- The concepts section, the `orioledb.serializable` values, and the
compression settings match.
- The limitations link still resolves (`#current-limitations`).
- Doc changes on `main` since beta17 (collations, sparse files,
concurrent unique bridged indexes) don't affect claims on this page.

## Verification (`/test-the-docs`)

| Snippet / step | Class | Sandbox | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `create table blog_post …` | runnable-local | DinD + runner,
`supabase/postgres:17.9.0.028-orioledb` | pass | Table created with the
`orioledb` access method (default) |
| `create index …` (2 indexes) | runnable-with-setup | same | pass | |
| `insert …` + `select …` | runnable-with-setup | same | pass |
Timestamp differs, as expected |
| `explain` (3 statements) | runnable-with-setup | same | pass | Primary
key lookup output updated in this PR to match |
| `select … from pg_settings where name like 'orioledb.%'` |
runnable-local | same | pass | All 10 automatically tuned settings
present |
| `alter database … default_compress to 1` | runnable-local | same |
pass | |
| Compression range `-1`–`22` | claim check | same | pass | `23`
rejected: "outside the valid range (-1 .. 22)" |
| User-configurable settings have `user` context | claim check | same |
pass | `serializable` values match the page |
| Hidden `ctid` key when no primary key is defined | claim check | same
| pass | |
| HNSW index via index bridging | claim check | same | fail (product
bug) | Index misses rows inserted after it's created. Known upstream as
orioledb/orioledb#1118, fixed after beta17. The tested image bundles an
earlier OrioleDB release. Re-test on an image with beta18 before
merging. |
| Dashboard project creation steps | deferred | — | deferred | Needs a
hosted project; labels checked against Studio source |

**Tier A path:** every SQL block on the page, run in page order against
the Supabase OrioleDB image.

**Environment:** Docker 29.4.0 (linux/aarch64); compose sandbox from
`test-the-docs`; all SQL run inside the runner container.

**Build:** `pnpm build:guides-markdown` passes; the generated markdown
for this page includes all changes.

## Self-review

**Blockers:** none.

**Before merging:**

- [ ] Re-run the HNSW check on an image with OrioleDB beta18.
- [ ] Re-check the page against the `beta18` tag once it's published.

**Nits left for a follow-up (existing text, outside this PR's scope):**

- The page spells `pg_vector`; the extension is `pgvector`.
- Index support is described twice, in the top note and again under
"Creating indexes".
- The markdown export (`internals/markdown-schema/Admonition.ts`) drops
admonition titles on every page. This PR avoids relying on a title for
the beta status.

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

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.
