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.

description: 'Getting the best results out of your Supabase project'
---
The Supabase platform automatically optimizes your Postgres database to take advantage of the compute resources of the plan your project is on. However, these optimizations are based on assumptions about the type of workflow the project is being used for, and it is likely that better results can be obtained by tuning the database for your particular workflow.
## Examining query performance
Unoptimized queries are a major cause of poor database performance. To analyze the performance of your queries, see the [Debugging and monitoring guide](/docs/guides/database/inspect).
## Optimizing the number of connections
The default connection limits for Postgres and Supavisor is based on your compute size. See the default connection numbers in the [Compute Add-ons](/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk) section.
If the number of connections is insufficient, you will receive the following error upon connecting to the DB:
```shell
$ psql -U postgres -h ...
FATAL: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections
```
In such a scenario, you can consider:
- [upgrading to a larger compute add-on](/dashboard/project/_/settings/infrastructure)
- configuring your clients to use fewer connections
- manually configuring the database for a higher number of connections
### Configuring clients to use fewer connections
You can use the [pg_stat_activity](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-PG-STAT-ACTIVITY-VIEW) view to debug which clients are holding open connections on your DB. `pg_stat_activity` only exposes information on direct connections to the database. Information on the number of connections to Supavisor is available [via the metrics endpoint](../telemetry/metrics).
Depending on the clients involved, you might be able to configure them to work with fewer connections (e.g. by imposing a limit on the maximum number of connections they're allowed to use), or shift specific workloads to connect via [Supavisor](/docs/guides/database/connecting-to-postgres#poolers) instead. Transient workflows, which can scale up and down rapidly in response to traffic (e.g. serverless functions), can especially benefit from using a connection pooler rather than connecting to the DB directly.
### Allowing higher number of connections
You can configure Postgres connection limit among other parameters by using [Custom Postgres Config](/docs/guides/database/custom-postgres-config).
