The record

Purpose: Supavisor is a scalable, cloud-native Postgres connection pooler.
Connection scale: The project says a cluster can proxy millions of Postgres client connections into a stateful pool of native Postgres connections.
Tenant support: Supavisor supports multi-tenant connections to multiple Postgres instances or clusters, as well as single-tenant use as a PgBouncer replacement.
Pool modes: It supports transaction, session, and native pool modes.
Authentication: Client credentials can be verified using tenant user records or an authentication query.
Observability: The README describes tenant-level throughput visibility and a Prometheus metrics endpoint.
Management API: The README lists an OpenAPI specification at `/api/openapi` and Swagger UI at `/swaggerui`.
Availability: The README describes cluster behavior that can restart tenant pools when clients reconnect after a node goes down.
Deployments: The README says Supavisor supports rolling and blue-green deployment strategies.
Deployment limit: The README says Supavisor is not intended to run in a serverless environment and does not depend on Kubernetes.
Installation: The installation guide starts by setting up a PostgreSQL database for Supavisor tenant data and provides a Docker Compose command for PostgreSQL 14.
Prisma integration: The Prisma guide says Supavisor pool modes behave like PgBouncer and can use the same connection string.
License and security reporting: The repository is Apache-2.0 licensed and directs vulnerability reports to Supabase's HackerOne program.
