# Supabase Reliability Patterns

> Implement Supabase reliability patterns including circuit breakers, idempotency, and graceful degradation. Use when building fault-tolerant Supabase integrations, implementing retry strategies, or adding resilience to production Supabase services. Trigger with phrases like "supabase reliability", "supabase circuit breaker", "supabase idempotent", "supabase resilience", "supabase fallback", "supabase bulkhead".

# Supabase Reliability Patterns

## Prerequisites
- Understanding of circuit breaker pattern
- opossum or similar library installed
- Queue infrastructure for DLQ
- Caching layer for fallbacks

## Instructions

### Step 1: Implement Circuit Breaker
Wrap Supabase calls with circuit breaker.

### Step 2: Add Idempotency Keys
Generate deterministic keys for operations.

### Step 3: Configure Bulkheads
Separate queues for different priorities.

### Step 4: Set Up Dead Letter Queue
Handle permanent failures gracefully.

## Output
- Circuit breaker protecting Supabase calls
- Idempotency preventing duplicates
- Bulkhead isolation implemented
- DLQ for failed operations

## Error Handling

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

## Examples

See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
