# Supabase Observability

## Prerequisites
- Prometheus or compatible metrics backend
- OpenTelemetry SDK installed
- Grafana or similar dashboarding tool
- AlertManager configured

## Instructions

### Step 1: Set Up Metrics Collection
Implement Prometheus counters, histograms, and gauges for key operations.

### Step 2: Add Distributed Tracing
Integrate OpenTelemetry for end-to-end request tracing.

### Step 3: Configure Structured Logging
Set up JSON logging with consistent field names.

### Step 4: Create Alert Rules
Define Prometheus alerting rules for error rates and latency.

## Output
- Metrics collection enabled
- Distributed tracing configured
- Structured logging implemented
- Alert rules deployed

## Error Handling

See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.

## Examples
