While managed platforms like Supabase significantly reduce operational overhead, maintaining sub-10ms query execution during massive concurrent read/write surges requires deliberate architectural design. In this playbook, we break down the exact strategies we deploy at Isotope Blue to scale Supabase and PostgreSQL …
