e81c714aae refactor(studio): lazy self-hosted admin client + enforce in API routes (from #46424) (#47104)
Extracted from the TanStack Start migration (#46424) to shrink that PR.

The self-hosted storage/auth API routes each constructed a module-scope
admin client (`createClient(process.env.SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY!)`). Those env vars only exist on
self-hosted, so eager module-scope construction is wasteful on platform
and fragile on any runtime that evaluates an API module before its route
is hit (constructing with `undefined` credentials throws on import).

**Changed:**
- Add `lib/api/self-hosted-admin.ts` — `selfHostedSupabaseAdmin`, a
`Proxy` that defers `createClient(...)` until first property access
(inside a handler, i.e. on self-hosted where the vars are set).
- Swap **all 17** storage/auth/vector-bucket handlers from module-scope
`createClient(...)` to `import { selfHostedSupabaseAdmin as supabase }`.
- **Enforce it:** add an eslint `no-restricted-syntax` rule banning
module-scope `createClient` in `pages/api/**` + `routes/**` (now that
every flagged handler is lazy). The same eslint config block also
carries an analytics-SQL boundary rule — 0 violations on master.

Behaviour is unchanged (the client is still built lazily inside the
handler). This is also the change that makes those routes safe under
TanStack's single-handler module evaluation.

## To test
- Self-hosted Studio: storage buckets/objects, vector buckets, and auth
users operations work as before.

## Verification
studio lint (0 errors, both rules active) ✓ · studio typecheck ✓.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Refactor**
* Standardized self-hosted Supabase admin client usage across platform
authentication and storage endpoints, removing per-route client setup.
* Improved reliability by lazily creating the admin client only when
first used.
* **Chores / Tooling**
* Updated ESLint rules to prevent module-scope Supabase client creation
in API routes and to enforce safe analytics SQL access patterns.

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.
