How to configure Supabase database for multi-region deployments?

Step 1: Create a Supabase Project

  1. Head over to Supabase and log in to your account.
  2. Hit the "New Project" button.
  3. Fill in the details like project name, organization, and region. Easy peasy.

Step 2: Configure Initial Database

  1. Pick a region for your database.
  2. Set up the database settings, like the password and other configurations you need.
  3. Click "Create" to get your initial database up and running.

Step 3: Enable Cross-Region Replication

  1. Go to the "Database" tab in your Supabase project.
  2. Find the "Replication" section.
  3. Click "Set Up Replication".
  4. Choose the regions where you want your database to be replicated.

Step 4: Configure Read & Write Regions

  1. In the "Replication" settings, decide which regions will handle write operations and which will handle read operations.
  2. This step is super important for optimizing performance and ensuring failure tolerance.

Step 5: Verify Replication Status

  1. Head back to the "Database" tab.
  2. Check the replication status to make sure all regions are successfully replicating your data.
  3. Make sure your read replicas are set up correctly.

Step 6: Update Application Configuration

  1. Update your app's configuration to connect to the Supabase instances in your chosen regions.
  2. This usually means updating connection strings, endpoints, or environment variables in your app code.

Step 7: Test Multi-Region Setup

  1. Test your app thoroughly to make sure it handles read and write operations across multiple regions correctly.
  2. Check that latency and performance are good for your needs.

Step 8: Monitor and Maintain

  1. Keep an eye on the health and performance of your database across regions using the Supabase dashboard.
  2. Fix any performance issues or data inconsistencies that come up.

By following these steps, you can set up Supabase for multi-region deployments to boost availability, redundancy, and performance.
