Every tool we build—from authentication and vector search to edge functions—is used to run Supabase's own internal production infrastructure. If our engineers experience friction, latency, or documentation gaps while building internal dashboards, we fix the issue immediately before our external developers ever encounter it. Dogfooding is the ultimate alignment mechanism.
