Miranda Limonczenko abbf667084 fix(docs) Resolve local link paths caused that have redirects (#48453)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Problem

The Docs E2E link checker found broken links throughout docs, starting
with `phone-login.mdx` pointing to `/docs/guides/cli/config` (404).

Old links like `/docs/guides/cli/config` still work on the live site
because `supabase.com` has redirects set up for them, but these links
break on the docs preview site, which is what the E2E check tests
against. These issues look clean on the live site, and I didn't catch
them in my first pass because I was testing production instead of the
preview.

The E2E check only tests the ~20 pages a given PR happens to touch, so
fixing the pages it flagged kept exposing more of the same problem one
page at a time as each fix pulled in a new file. To stop chasing this
incrementally, I cross-referenced every `/docs/guides/*` and
`/docs/reference/*` redirect source in `apps/www/lib/redirects.js`
against actual usage across all of `apps/docs`, and verified each
candidate against the live preview.

## Solution

Rather than updating the Docs E2E link checker, this PR resolves the
links. **Why:** we own these docs, so keeping the links clean without
redirects is keeping the house maintained. See [Broken Window
Theory](https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-broken-window-theory/).

Updated every link still using an old path to point straight at the
current page instead of relying on a redirect. This covers old links
like:

- `/docs/guides/cli/config` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/cli/config`
- `/docs/guides/cli/getting-started` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started`
- `/docs/guides/cli/local-development` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/database-migrations`
- `/docs/guides/cli/managing-environments` →
`/docs/guides/deployment/managing-environments`
- `/docs/guides/cli/seeding-your-database` →
`/docs/guides/local-development/seeding-your-database`
- bare `/docs/guides/cli` → `/docs/guides/local-development`
- `/docs/guides/platform/compute-add-ons` →
`/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk`
- `/docs/guides/platform/shared-responsibility-model` →
`/docs/guides/deployment/shared-responsibility-model`
- `/docs/guides/database` → `/docs/guides/database/overview`
- `/docs/reference/javascript`, `/docs/reference/dart`,
`/docs/reference/kotlin`, `/docs/reference/python`,
`/docs/reference/csharp` → their `/introduction` pages (the redirect's
own destination, `/start`, turned out to be dead even on production — a
separate bug in `redirects.js` I didn't touch here)
- and about 35 more of the same pattern, listed in the commit messages

Also fixed a handful of dead heading anchors found along the way (links
that resolve to the right page but point at a `#section` that got
renamed or moved), including the original `#bigquery` anchor and a few
in `connecting-to-postgres.mdx` where content moved to its own dedicated
page.

Left alone on purpose:
- `content/guides/cli.mdx` — this page has no route in the docs app at
all (no `app/guides/cli/` directory), so it 404s even in production
before the `www` redirect ever fires. Fixing its internal link wouldn't
change that; it needs an actual routing/content decision, not a link
fix.
- A few candidates that already resolve fine as-is (`pg_partman`, bare
`/docs/reference/api`, bare `/docs/reference/cli`) — confirmed via curl,
left untouched.

## Manual testing

1. Confirmed every new link target actually exists by checking the
destination file/page and matching heading anchors.
2. Cross-referenced every `/docs/guides/*` and `/docs/reference/*`
redirect source in `apps/www/lib/redirects.js` against real usage in
`apps/docs`, and curl-verified each old path (404) and new path (200)
against the live PR preview before fixing it.
3. Ran the Docs E2E link checker locally against changed pages.
4. Spot-checked the original broken link from CI
(`/docs/guides/cli/config`) to confirm it now points to a working page.

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.
  • 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.
