# Supabase Performance Tuning

> Optimize Supabase API performance with caching, batching, and connection pooling. Use when experiencing slow API responses, implementing caching strategies, or optimizing request throughput for Supabase integrations. Trigger with phrases like "supabase performance", "optimize supabase", "supabase latency", "supabase caching", "supabase slow", "supabase batch".

# Supabase Performance Tuning

## Prerequisites
- Supabase SDK installed
- Understanding of async patterns
- Redis or in-memory cache available (optional)
- Performance monitoring in place

## Instructions

### Step 1: Establish Baseline
Measure current latency for critical Supabase operations.

### Step 2: Implement Caching
Add response caching for frequently accessed data.

### Step 3: Enable Batching
Use DataLoader or similar for automatic request batching.

### Step 4: Optimize Connections
Configure connection pooling with keep-alive.

## Output
- Reduced API latency
- Caching layer implemented
- Request batching enabled
- Connection pooling configured

## Error Handling

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