BREAKING: Supabase Project Actions Failing Across Multiple Regions 🚨

Supabase experiencing widespread project action failures. Immediate workarounds and status checks inside.

Incident Summary

Supabase is currently experiencing issues with project actions failing across multiple regions. This affects dashboard operations and potentially API functionality depending on your region and project configuration.

What's Affected

Dashboard Project Actions: Creating, updating, or deleting projects may fail

Multi-region deployments: Users report failures across US, EU, and APAC regions

Real-time features: Potential instability with real-time subscriptions

Database operations: Some database management tasks may be impacted

API calls: Depending on region, some API requests may timeout or return errors

Status: Supabase team has acknowledged the issue and is investigating.

How to Check If You're Affected

1. Visit [status.supabase.com](https://status.supabase.com) for official updates 2. Try performing a simple dashboard action (e.g., viewing project settings) 3. Check your project's real-time connection status in browser console 4. Test API endpoints directly with curl or Postman 5. Review your application logs for connection timeouts

Immediate Workarounds

For Development/Testing

Use local alternatives: Switch to local PostgreSQL + Supabase local development setup

Docker option: Deploy Supabase locally with Docker to continue testing

Mock data: Temporarily use mock/cached data if your app supports it

Pause non-critical ops: Defer non-essential database migrations

For Production Applications

Enable read replicas: If already configured, route read operations to replica endpoints

Implement caching: Use Redis/Memcached to serve cached data

Connection pooling: Ensure PgBouncer is configured for connection resilience

Graceful degradation: Implement fallback UI states for features dependent on Supabase

Queue jobs: Store failed writes in a queue (Redis/SQS) for retry when service recovers

For Real-time Features

Temporary polling: Replace real-time subscriptions with polling (increased latency acceptable)

Disable real-time: Toggle real-time features off in your client SDK

Fallback messaging: Show users that live features are temporarily unavailable

Alternative Services to Consider

Firebase/Firestore: Full backend-as-a-service alternative

AWS RDS/Aurora: Self-managed PostgreSQL

PlanetScale: MySQL alternative

Neon: PostgreSQL managed alternative

Railway/Render: Alternative hosting platforms

Next Steps

1. Monitor official status: Check Supabase status page every 15 minutes 2. Subscribe to updates: Enable notifications on status.supabase.com 3. Document impact: Note which features/users are affected for incident reporting 4. Communicate: Update stakeholders on estimated recovery time 5. Review logs: Post-incident, analyze your application logs for error patterns

Recovery Expectations

Supabase incidents are typically resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. The team will post regular updates on the status page.
