AI-powered debugging for your Supabase database

Need to deep dive with an AI assistant trained on Supabase best practices? Dreambase agents can help you easily and quickly root cause issues, optimize performance, and implement fixes.

The Problem

The Problem

Supabase is powerful, but debugging issues can be challenging:

  • Performance problems — Slow queries, high latency, timeouts—but where's the bottleneck?
  • RLS complexity — Row Level Security policies can be tricky to get right, and debugging them is painful
  • Index mysteries — Which indexes do you need? Which ones are unused? What's causing that sequential scan?
  • Connection issues — Pool exhaustion, connection limits, authentication failures
  • Schema questions — Is this the right data model? How should I structure this relationship?
  • Best practices uncertainty — "Am I doing this right? What would a Supabase expert recommend?"

The result? Hours of Stack Overflow searches, Discord questions, and trial-and-error debugging when you should be building product.

The Dreambase Solution

The Dreambase Solution

Dreambase agents are trained on Supabase best practices and have direct access to your database schema, metadata, and performance signals. Get expert-level debugging assistance instantly.

AI Trained on Supabase Best Practices

Our agents understand Supabase-specific patterns, common pitfalls, and recommended solutions. They don't just give generic Postgres advice—they know Supabase.

Direct Access to Your Schema

The agent sees your actual tables, columns, relationships, and indexes. No need to copy-paste schema definitions or explain your data model.

Performance Insights

Dreambase analyzes query patterns, identifies slow queries, and recommends optimizations specific to your workload.

Interactive Debugging

Chat with the agent to explore issues. Ask follow-up questions, test hypotheses, and iterate on solutions in real-time.

Common Troubleshooting Scenarios

Common Troubleshooting Scenarios

Slow Query Performance

Symptom: API calls are timing out or taking too long

Dreambase helps by:

  • Analyzing your query patterns
  • Identifying missing indexes
  • Recommending query optimizations
  • Showing EXPLAIN ANALYZE output with interpretation

Row Level Security Issues

Symptom: Users seeing data they shouldn't, or not seeing data they should

Dreambase helps by:

  • Auditing your RLS policies
  • Identifying gaps in coverage
  • Suggesting policy improvements
  • Testing policies against sample users

Database Performance Degradation

Symptom: Everything was fine, now it's slow

Dreambase helps by:

  • Running a full Report Card assessment
  • Identifying what changed (table growth, new queries, missing indexes)
  • Recommending immediate fixes and long-term improvements

Schema Design Questions

Symptom: "Is this the right way to model this?"

Dreambase helps by:

  • Analyzing your current schema
  • Suggesting improvements based on best practices
  • Considering your query patterns and access patterns

Connection Pool Issues

Symptom: "Too many connections" errors, intermittent failures

Dreambase helps by:

  • Analyzing connection patterns
  • Recommending pool configuration
  • Identifying connection leaks
Dreambase Supabase Report Card

Dreambase Supabase Report Card

For comprehensive health checks, run a Supabase Report Card:

What We Analyze

  • RLS Coverage — Are all tables protected?
  • Index Health — Missing indexes, unused indexes, index bloat
  • Query Performance — Slow queries, sequential scans, optimization opportunities
  • Schema Best Practices — Naming conventions, data types, constraints
  • Security Configuration — API exposure, authentication setup

What You Get

  • Overall health score
  • Prioritized list of issues
  • Specific fix recommendations
  • One-click prompts for Cursor/Claude Code
How It Works

How It Works

1. Connect Your Supabase Project

OAuth connection with minimal permissions. We read your schema and metadata.

2. Run a Report Card (Optional)

Get a comprehensive assessment of your database health.

3. Chat with the Agent

Describe your issue in natural language. The agent has full context of your schema.

4. Get Actionable Recommendations

Specific SQL commands, configuration changes, and best practice guidance.

5. Implement with Confidence

Use our generated prompts in Cursor, Claude Code, or your preferred editor to apply fixes.

Example Conversations

Example Conversations

You: "My users table queries are really slow. What's wrong?"

Agent: "I see your users table has 2.3M rows but no index on created_at, which is used in your most frequent queries. Here's the index to add: CREATE INDEX idx_users_created_at ON users(created_at DESC); This should reduce query time from ~800ms to ~15ms based on your query patterns."


You: "I'm getting RLS errors but I don't understand why"

Agent: "Your profiles table has RLS enabled but no SELECT policy for the authenticated role. Users can insert but not read their own profiles. Here's a policy that allows users to read their own profile: CREATE POLICY "Users can view own profile" ON profiles FOR SELECT USING (auth.uid() = user_id);"
