Own Your Observability: Supabase Metrics API

Supabase's Metrics API enhances observability by integrating approximately 200 Postgres performance and health metrics into existing monitoring systems using the Prometheus exposition format, providing a unified view of application, infrastructure, and database metrics. This integration allows for better correlation of events, such as API latency spikes and query performance, across the entire stack. Supabase supports open-source and open standards, ensuring metrics remain portable and compatible with various tools like Grafana, Datadog, and AWS Managed Prometheus. This approach facilitates effective monitoring and alerting for issues such as connection saturation, CPU pressure, and replication lag, while also promoting flexibility in tool choice without vendor lock-in. The Metrics API is available on all hosted Supabase projects and can be set up with Grafana Cloud, self-hosted Prometheus, and Datadog Agent, with detailed integration guides available in the updated documentation.
